[Since this is titled "one more thing", I'm assuming I'm entitled to forward this to the E list as well. --MarkM]

Kill String.+ and String.*. Die die die die. (Can you tell it's late :-).

String.+ is completely inferior to quasi literals, and is terrible, non-extensible polymorphism. The language would be better without it (and without all the other misuses of +).

+ is Commutative!

So there!
