I didn't realize you can do string concatenation with + .

You can’t in excel, but I was referring to if strong types the language could understand what to do with “+” for strings so could concat instead of fail.
I'd prefer it to fail rather than overload the `+` operator for unrelated types. VB gets few things right, but of the things it does get right: using the `&` operator for string concatenation makes far more sense than overloading `+`.
