RE: [FWP] appending to two strings

Yes, of course you're right. After realizing my error 
(unfortunately just after hitting "send"), I worked up a 'use 
Benchmark' script to demonstrate it. Bottom line: all of the 
one-liners are significantly slower than the original two 
line '.=' appender, no matter what concatenation method is 
used. (String interpolation is definately the slowest, tho.) 
I had it all worked up but then decided that benchmarking 
really isn't very fun (nor is publicly calling attention to 
your own mistakes). :-)
