We can use the metatables for strings (if at least one argument is
a string)! This already works both in 5.1 and 5.2:
mt = getmetatable("")
mt.__concat = function (a,b)
return tostring(a) .. tostring(b)
end
print("result: " .. {}) --> result: table: 0x8172130
print(false .. " x " .. true) --> false x true
