## unsupported token gluing `foo + bar`
There was a problem in an expression using +, e.g. `foo + bar`.
This can be due to two causes, check which one applies in your case.
1. You are trying to use + on runtime arguments. Even if you are using
`foo + bar` in an oper, make sure that the oper isn't called in a
linearization that takes arguments. Both of the following are illegal:
lin Test foo bar = foo.s + bar.s -- explicit + in a lin
lin Test foo bar = opWithPlus foo bar -- the oper uses +
2. One of the arguments in `foo + bar` is a bound variable
from pattern matching a string, but the cases are non-exhaustive.
Example:
case "test" of {
x + "a" => x + "b" -- no applicable case for "test", so x = ???
} ;
You can fix this by adding a catch-all case in the end:
{ x + "a" => x + "b" ;
_ => "default case" } ;
3. If neither applies to your problem, submit a bug report and we
will update the error message and this documentation.
