Which aren't expressions. Implicit concatenation is part of the
syntax, not part of the expression evaluator.

But I absolutely agree. A handful do (Pike, with the same semantics as
Python; REXX, but with the proviso that any amount of whitespace
between the literals becomes a single space in the resulting string),
and it really is a very handy feature.
