Yes, but the feature is made very modular. You can extend your own 
"superglobal pre-TS-parsing" properties very simple.

That way I think of a bunch of functions that could be implemented that way:
- Concatenating strings
- Adding elements to a comma-separated list (I think this is most useful)
- Sorting of lists
- Removing of list elements
- Removing of a string (regexp)
- etc.

All this is not possible with only one + operator.

Looks like this one is making the race.
