BTW, I'm happy to fix the test failures and to add more tests, but before digging into that work I'd like to get some guidance from maintainers about whether this PR is welcome or not. |

According to MDN docs for the `concat()` method of the `String` type: > If the arguments are not of the type string, they are converted to string > values before concatenating. Passing numbers, objects, etc to `String.prototype.concat` is is valid JS behavior but currently causes an error in Flow. It also may be blocking facebook/react#22064. This commit changes the arg type: `Array<string>` -> `Array<mixed>`.

Hi, Justin. I left a comment on the linked React PR, since the context around that change serves as motivation for this one, and just to keep the dialog in one spot. |

Looks like this PR isn't aligned with Flow's goals around avoiding implicit type casts, so I'll close this PR to keep the noise of everyone's plate. |
