Slightly off-topic, but concatenation? Just as a possible feature... for my sins I'm the database component maintainer for WordPress, and I'm currently getting `wpdb::prepare()` to work with the `literal-string` type, where I added support for escaping identifiers (field/table names). This function works like `sprintf()`, with the SQL being the `$format` argument, and then user values; from that it returns an SQL string with escaped values (yes, I know, parameterised queries are better, but we work with what we have)... developers often concatenate these together, but I was wondering if I could return a stringable value-object, so when they are concatenated, a new value-object could be created instead, so we can verify (ideally at runtime) that all values have been escaped correctly (and maybe use parameterised queries).
