In other words, 'str ~ c' when str is empty results in a 'slice' of the
character c. If it IS intended, I don't think it should be, because it probably
isn't what the programmer intended (in my case 'c' was the loop variable in a
foreach loop, and this bug was NOT easy to find, believe me...) It's also
inconsistent with the behaviour of str ~= c in the same situation.

I'm sure this is a bug. Replace "str = str ~ c;" with "str ~= c;" and it
works as expected.
