Thanks for the feed back on EL 3.0.
EL has currently another xml special character, namely, <. How is this
handled in facelets?
Regardless, it seems prudent to pick another symbol for concatenation.
Consider the expression
foo &
which in EL means foo concatenate amp. Already I can see there may be
confusions. :-)
What does other EGs think about this?
I recall the other symbols we considered:
1. ++
2. #
3. +=
4. !
In any case, we should also allow the string "concat" as an operator,
like "eq" or "lt" etc.
