That's very true (and I really wish that Lua didn't do implicit type conversion of numbers to strings --- it's a major wart on an otherwise very nice language).
I had totally forgotten that Java does it too, despite having done `""+i` lots of times as a cheap and easy and evil way to convert numbers to strings.
...I am currently rewriting a big chunk of the primary data storage to use immutable data structures, because it makes implementing Undo easier. I am having to fight the urge to redo it all in Haskell.
