just my $.02 on this. i rarely use bare . for concat. as someone else
mentioned, it is usually only needed when you have expressions or
function calls that don't directly interpolate in "". a long
. expression with many terms is rare and probably best done with join
''.
on the other hand, i use .= all the time and wouldn't like to lose
it. schwern idea of ce doesn't work for me as only the op= stuff means
assignment and ce would break that (e for = isn't visual enough).
.= could still be left working as that is a complete separate op from
method invocation. i can live with most any other form of . including
none. join is fine for that.
