Element-wise string concatenation in numpy

This can be done using numpy.core.defchararray.add. Here is an example:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a1 = np.array(['a', 'b'])
>>> a2 = np.array(['E', 'F'])
>>> np.core.defchararray.add(a1, a2)
array(['aE', 'bF'], 
      dtype="<U2")

There are other useful string operations available for NumPy data types.
