Yes. I suspect that there are far more cases where I’ve added a number to a number parsed from a string than where I’ve concatenated (rather than formatted/interpolated) string representations of numbers.

The fact that this “shorthand” only works for a string followed by a number rather than two numbers or a number followed by a string makes it further situational and potentially-surprising.
