As I don't like the fact that arithmetic operations were defined
for Strings.  Perhaps somebody who knows more about that part of
the system can step in and explain why having these operations
is an advantage.  I can only find disadvantages.

Once, + for SequenceableCollection would be free again, I could
imagine it as an alternative to #, which is too easy to overlook.
