! \begin{funcdesc}{sum}{sequence\optional{start=0}}
!   Sums up the items of a \var{sequence}, from left to right, and returns
!   the total.  The \var{sequence}'s items are normally numbers, and are
!   not allowed to be strings.  The fast, correct way to join up a
!   sequence of strings is by calling \code{''.join(\var{sequence})}.
