StringConcatException is modeled after LambdaConversionException: it
covers the linkage invariants, and it is thrown from bootstrap method
only. When BSM throws, call site initialization fails with
BootstrapMethodError, having this exception as the cause. Therefore, I
see no particular reason in making that exception unchecked.
