[ruby-core:19075] Request For Removal: No Operator Concatenation

I'm disappointed that Ruby still supports this goofy syntax:

   $ ruby_dev -ve 'p "a" "bc"'
   ruby 1.9.0 (2008-09-27 revision 0) [i386-darwin9.5.0]
   "abc"

I'm not sure I've ever seen this used on purpose, but I know I've seen  
it several times as a bug now (usually missing a comma between them).   
Ruby makes these bugs harder to find just to give us a concatenation  
syntax no one seems to use.

I vote we use 1.9 as a good excuse to remove this dubious feature.
