There's much historical precedence for + meaning concatenation, and much 
historical experience with the resulting ambiguity. The famous example is:

     "123" + 4

? In D, the canonical problem is:

     int[] array;

     array + 4

Does that mean append 4 to array, or add 4 to each element of array? What if you 
want to create a user defined type that supports both addition and concatenation?

Use + for addition, ~ for concatenation, and all these problems go away.
