Just once I want '1' + '2' to equal '3'. Is that so much to ask?

You want to remove the string concatenation operator? Cause that'll do it

I think every language needs a please operator, which acts to enforce human expectation of a statement:

'1'  + '1'            ## evaluates to '11'
please '1' + '1' ## evaluates to '2'
