I assume Tanak means that the result is ("ac", "bd") and what he wants
is ("a+c", "b+d"). One solution is
: Z = X :+ "+" :+ Y
: Z
1 2
+-------------+
1 | a+c b+d |
+-------------+
Above I used the :+ operator, see -help [m2] op_colon-.
Another solution is
: Z = X + ("+", "+") + Y
: Z
1 2
+-------------+
1 | a+c b+d |
+-------------+
