I was thinking of either of these two when I said concatenation:
$one = template(...)
$two = template(...)
notice("${one}${two}") # concat!
$three = concat($one, $two) # with the obvious implementation
...but, yeah, the module also satisfies. :)
Basically, the language already allows you to do string pasting
without too much hardship. Might as well do that the same way you do
other string pasting.
