I've never seen anybody confused by "+" for string-concatenation. It makes far more sense than, say, integer division where 5/3 = 1.

Just because C++ ruined operator overriding with their moronic << doesn't mean that every other language should live without perfectly reasonable operator behavior. I've been dealing with Java instead of C# and not being able to use simple obvious equality checks with the "==" operator is agonizing.
