declaimed the following in gmane.comp.python.general:

> I'm not so sure that all strings should autopromote to integer (or
> "numeric" generally). However, adding a string and a number _should_
> (IMHO) promote the number to string.
> 
> print "Hello, "+name+", you have "+credit+" dollars of credit with us."
> 
> Okay, that one is probably better done with the % operator, but it
