That currently means binary xor in imcc, so if we changed it we'd break compatibility with current compilers and scripts. OTOH, it sounds like I already broke it by changing the outcome of the ambiguous x.x interpretation -- oops. I can change it back with precedence games, but would rather not exert the effort, since I think using ~ is a better way to go. (Barring other better ideas, that is.) I tend to use the 'concat' op in my own code anyway. So I'll abide by Leo's or Melvin's ruling.
