Some more investigation showed that Unicode .join() does an
implicit unicode() on all objects in the list whereas the
string .join() does not.
I think that this is a bug in the Unicode .join() method (the
string .join() method can only handle strings and Unicode
objects). Should I change the Unicode .join() method to match
the semantics of string.join() ?!
