 -----------------------------
 
 Template strings support explicit concatenation using ``+``. Concatenation is
-supported for two ``Template`` instances as well as for a ``Template`` instance
-and a ``str``:
+supported for two ``Template`` instances via ``Template.__add__()``:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
     name = "World"
-    template = t"{name}"
 
-    assert isinstance(t"Hello " + template, Template)
-    assert (t"Hello " + template).strings == ("Hello ", "")
-    assert (t"Hello " + template).interpolations[0].value == "World"
+    assert isinstance(t"Hello " + t"{name}", Template)
+    assert (t"Hello " + t"{name}").strings == ("Hello ", "")
+    assert (t"Hello " + t"{name}").values[0] == "World"
 
-    assert isinstance("Hello " + template, Template)
-    assert ("Hello " + template).strings == ("Hello ", "")
-    assert ("Hello " + template).interpolations[0].value == "World"
+Concatenation of a ``Template`` and a ``str`` is not supported. This is because
+it is ambiguous whether the ``str`` should be treated as a static string part
+or as an interpolation. Developers can effectively mark a ``str`` by directly
+constructing a ``Template`` instance:
 
-Concatenation of templates is "viral": the concatenation of a ``Template`` and
-a ``str`` always results in a ``Template`` instance.
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    name = "World"
+
+    # Treat `name` as a static string part
+    template = t"Hello " + Template(name)
 
-Python's implicit concatenation syntax is also supported. The following code
-will work as expected:
+    # Treat `name` as an interpolation
+    template = t"Hello " + Template(Interpolation(name, "name"))
+
+Python's implicit concatenation syntax is also supported, both between two
+``Template`` instances and between a ``Template`` instance and a ``str``:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
     name = "World"
     assert (t"Hello " t"World").strings == ("Hello World",)
     assert ("Hello " t"World").strings == ("Hello World",)
 
-The ``Template`` type supports the ``__add__()`` and ``__radd__()`` methods
-between two ``Template`` instances and between a ``Template`` instance and a
-``str``.
