I had an idea last night concerning what to do
with functions like string.join that don't quite
belong as methods of a string, plus constants
like string.uppercase etc.
Someone suggested making the os.* routines
class methods of 'file'. So how about making
these things class methods of 'str'?
e.g.
mystring = str.join(["spam", "eggs"], ',')
reads quite nicely.
