I think the main intentions is to close a gap in the language.

    [1,2,3] + [4,5,6]

works for lists and tuples,

    {1,2,3} | {4,5,6}

works for sets, but joining two dicts isn't simply

    {1:2, 3:4} + {5:6}

but requires either some obscure syntax or a statement instead of a simple
expression.

The proposal is to enable the obvious syntax for something that should be
obvious.
