Concatenation by Java-style + operator in Matlab

I cannot seem to find documentation anywhere of this feature to concatenate strings and variables in Matlab using the Java-style + operator:

>> v = 10;
>> s = v + " m/s"
>> disp(s)
10 m/s

Is this supported or experimental?

It is supported, but it is badly indexed. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot find the recent discussion I had with Mathworks about this.

[Philip Borghesani]

It's in the standard documentation for plus: doc plus scan down to the section headed "Concatenate Strings"

[Steven Lord]

The discussion to which Walter refers is here.

Thanks, Steven, that was the post. I also wrote a documentation enhancement request but I can't seem to find that in my email at the moment.
