How to use Aura:Iteration index variable inside a placeholder?

I have a component which has a list of teams over which the aura:iteration is looping.
I want to use the placeholder attribute of lightning:input as such:



<aura:iteration items="{!v.dToPart.teams}"  var="eachTeam" indexVar="index">
<div class="slds-col slds-size_4-of-12 " >
<lightning:input placeholder="{'Name of team '+ #index+1}" aura:id="dToPart" value="{!eachTeam.name}" required="true"/>
</div>
</aura:iteration>


But this gives the following result:



Merge expression of string with aura iteration index fails



This works perfectly fine, if i only include the index in the merge expression:



<aura:iteration items="{!v.dToPart.teams}"  var="eachTeam" indexVar="index">
<div class="slds-col slds-size_4-of-12 " >
<lightning:input placeholder="{'Name of team '+ #index+1}" aura:id="dToPart" value="{!eachTeam.name}" required="true"/>
</div>
</aura:iteration>


Works when merge expression only has index



Can someone please help me out?

          Expressions need to start with # or ! to be recognized:



          <lightning:input placeholder="{#'Name of team '+ (index+1)}" ... />


          Note that the inner ( and ) are necessary to treat the index + 1 as arithmetic instead of string concatenation.



          An expression is always in the form of {, followed by # or !, followed by the expression to be evaluated, and finally ending in }.
