Oh, I can live with the underscore operator, as I am believe in drenching my code with whitespace, and yes, I had seen the connector metaphor in the character.

That said, sometimes, for a higher purpose, you have to scrunch code up. Concatenating is a pretty heavily used operator (at least for me), so it's bound to run into this constraint more sooner than later. And that bothers me a bit. Not much. I'll just probably change my style and interpolate into strings more.
