I think they are, but it doesn't really matter, since both are a bit
lame, and I doubt either is sufficiently suggestive to be worth
changing the name of the module, or even providing an alias.  I wish I
had a better name to offer, that's all.

The issue is not that I *dislike* the name; I *personally* like the
name fine.  It's that it's definitely not doing anything to reduce the
frequency of the "efficient string concatenation" FAQ.
