Hi!

I should call it string-conc, conc-string, or conc->string. I should not expect from first sight that either, string+ or string*, would concatenate. From those names, it also would seem surprising that they can take any sequences, not just strings, as arguments.

I see the main merit of creating such a function of reduced generality in that you can pass it around as a simple #'string-conc instead of (lambda (&rest sequences) (apply #'concatenate 'string sequences)).

Scheme has string-append.
