Remember that there's a lot more of them ("yet to start" users) than
there are of us ("dinosaurs" :).

We've been down this road so many times it hurts. I kind of suspect
that it's secretly string.join() keeping the string module alive more
than anything else <wink>. Personally, I really like ''.join() --
which I spell EMPTYSTRING.join() -- but then I like Rush, uni, and
Uncle Timmy's Farm Report. All are acquired tastes.
So let's write that join() builtin and be done with it!

The one difference is that <> is favored by some people close to
Guido's heart. He'd never piss off his brother or his sysadmin. :)
