[Gretl-devel] syntax suggestion for append to string

Hi, in hansl we concatenate strings with "~" and not "+" (which is an offset specification). But then why do we have to use "+=" to append to a string and not "~="? I find this confusing and always get this wrong. Is it just me or could we introduce the syntax "~=" for strings? AFAICS this would just be syntactic sugar without side effects, right? thanks, sven
