I for one think that expecting names to tell us everything, or
even a lot, is naive, a losing battle.  And, yes, naming_is_  hard
it's one of the 2 hard ones along with cache invalidation and
off-by-one.

Can we agree, though, that 'concat' and 'append' are too far from the "long-a🐍🐍" end of the spectrum?

I hesitate to propose a renaming because there's a lot of history, but just having a string-concat alias could improve the situation.
