I’ve noticed a couple of differences between these Concatenate() and +.

This example shows one issue:  
**Concatenate(“AAA-”,Today())** gives AAA-12/28/2018  
**"AAA-" + Today()** gives AAA-43462

Things like this should be documented. Although I never did see any documentation on using the +. I just saw a reference to it in the forums.
