Due to some [bootstrapping 
issues](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71834059/why-invokedynamic-based-string-concatenation-is-not-available-for-javac-in-java)
 in `java.base` explicit String concatenation is not translated into 
invokedynamic, so in practice it's faster to use `StringBuilder.append()` than 
`str1 + str2`, see e.g. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/3903
