I have myself been "guilty" of using the problem style for N < 10. In fact, I had forgotten about the optimization even, since my uses are negligible time. For stuff like this, it's fast no matter what: for clause in query_clauses: sql += clause Maybe I have a WHERE or two. Maybe an ORDER BY. Etc. But if I'm sure there won't be more than 6 such clauses to the query I'm building, so what? Or probably likewise with bits of a file path, or a URL with optional parameters, and a few other things.

Does anyone know if any linters find and warn about the `string += word` in a loop pattern? It feels like a linter would be the place to do that. I don't think we could possibly make it an actual interpreter warning given borderline OK uses (or possibly even preferred ones). But a little nagging in tooling could draw attention.
