This is what I would have expected || to give, and not what 8.2 does.
So disregarding the rest of the argument I think that array_[pre|ap]pend

I thing so current behave is more intuitive and practical. Result
x{aa,bb,cc} is nonsens. Array concation have to have higher priority
than text concation.
