Tl;dr: Join strings together with exactly one space between non-blank
This idea is inappropriate for inclusion in the language. There are too many subtle details in how this should work as noted by others. To give an example which I hope clearly illustrates that this is not simple, what should the value of 'ｆｕｌｌ' & 'ｗｉｄｔｈ' be? - 'ｆｕｌｌ ｗｉｄｔｈ' - 'ｆｕｌｌ ｗｉｄｔｈ' In case it's not clear, those are full width Latin characters which should be joined by a full width (ideographic) space U+3000. What should be inserted when the characters are Kanji (which doesn't usually use spaces) or Amkharic (which uses '፡' U+1361) or a mix of different character sets? --- Bruce
