Its most common use-case can be fullfilled with a simple FTL.TextElement() because CONCAT is also capable of concatenating TextElements and Placables.

Its other use-case (defining a hard-coded value for a Message) is rare and the alternative is not too bad:

FTL.Pattern([
    FTL.TextElement("Hardcoded value")
])

Its third use-case was in REPLACE as the foreach function. That's already covered by the default value of foreach, however.

I'd avoid the trailing whitespace decision in this patch, otherwise, r=me.

COPY(self.strings, 'channel.description.end'),
)
)

self.assertEqual(
evaluate(self, msg).to_json(),
ftl_message_to_json('''
channel-desc = You are on the { $channelname } channel.
channel-desc = You are on the { $channelname } channel.\u0020

This smells like anticipating a particular solution to bug 1374246. Want to remove the trailing whitespace in line 153 instead?

Good point.

Its most common use-case can be fullfilled with a simple
FTL.TextElement() because CONCAT is also capable of concatenating
TextElements and Placables.

Its other use-case (defining a hard-coded value for a Message) is rare
and the alternative is not too bad:

    FTL.Pattern([
        FTL.TextElement("Hardcoded value")
    ])
