Really?  I predict everlasting confusion on argument order.  It's not
obvious from the method name whether the joining separator comes first
or second.

V <wink>. Explicit global imports.  I want a way to spell "import this
from the global standard library even if there's a this.py  in the local
directory".

VI. PEP 318 or something like it.
