I think you're talking about two things here. Built-in types
vs. user-defined data structures. Octave's data types, namely,
strings, matrices, cell-arrays, (deprecated) lists, and
associative-arrays (aka "structs"), should have high-level syntax for
concatenation & other useful functions. I don't believe that it's
possible for a programming language to have standard operators for
user-defined abstract data structures, since a wily user can create
all sorts of crazy data schemes. :-)
