Especially since, in a typed language, this function would be desugared at compile time and (probably) aggressively inlined, making it hardly different from the compiler builtins for adding floats and ints. Unless, of course, you're doing something like allocating to concatenate strings.

Really, though, it's more of a developer common-sense issue than a language one.
