I just compared 5 different ways in python of combining
strings
and it looks like '%s...%s' % tuple is comparable to adding
for small numbers (5-10) of smallish strings (10-250 byte),
and gets significantly better with more (25+) and larger
(1k+)
strings, where it stays comparable to string.join and the
newer "".join.
