FS#136 - String concatenation operator
Using the concat function is tedious. Why not just have an operator with which to concatenate strings?
“Hello " + “world!”
“Hello " . “world!”
What's wrong with concat(,,,) ?
Overloaded operator sucks. "+" is for addition (and is already a pain due to working with number and vector with promotion...), "." is a decimal separator.
( "Hello " . " world!" ) should be simply "Hello world!", remove the superfluous end quote, operator, start quote.
Copying syntax from other "cool" languages without a real purpose might give you happiness, but what's the point for the SDL of povray ?
"What's wrong with concat(,,,) ?"
Already stated. Please read.
