Sounds good, although I think multiple other operations beside 
concatenation could benefit from being intercepted:

opNary(string op, T...)(T args)

E.g. perhaps BigInt can avoid one or more reallocations for >2 
args. The compiler would try opNary first in that case, and 
fallback to successive calls to opBinary as now.

In fact, maybe some types could benefit from intercepting 
different operations at once:

opNary(string[] ops, T...)(T args)
