Implicit concatenation eliminates the need to precede User Language variables (including methods chained off a variable) and literals with the operator With to indicate concatenation. For example, the following statement sets %foo to the contents of %test enclosed within parentheses:
%foo = "(" %test ")"
If %nal is a Named Arraylist of String, implicit concatenation lets you assign to %foo the single-quoted value of item %x +1:
%foo = "'" %nal(%x + 1) "'"
With is still required before field names:
%foo = '>>' with FIELD NAME
And With is still required before expressions in parentheses:
%foo = '>>' with (%x + 2)
