Another thing. Why has string.join been added to the string object, when
it make so much more sense to add it to the list object. i.e.:

<list>.join() -> <string>
>>> ["one", "two", "three"].join(" ")	# " " would be default arg
'one two three'

rather than:

<string>.join(<list>) -> <string>
>>> " ".join(["one", "two", "three"])
'one two three'

I can just see this: " ".join(xxxx) notation appearing all over the place.
