As Philippe himself has pointed out, there's the trade-off between convey information and a long-a$$ name, for example. So we _can_ use that as argument, in the opposite part of the spectrum. 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.
