Actually, Nick explained that asciistr() + asciistr() returns str, That part seems wrong to me, because it means that you can't write polymorphic byte/string functions that are composable. I would be -1 on that, and prefer that asciistr + asciistr --> asciistr.
You have to pretty much reimplement str to do that. I wouldn't say no to a patch that implemented it, but we're unlikely to do that much work ourselves for something which is primarily intended as a proof of concept.
Cheers, Nick.
