string a="foo" ~ 255; // compiles but should not (too easy to confuse with "foo"~"255" as in other languages, when instead it means append char(255))
string a="foo" ~ 256;
Error: incompatible types for (("foo") ~ (256)): 'string' and 'int'
instead: we should write:
```
string a="foo" ~ char(255);
```
