I have seen the join method before but because of my lack
of experience it didn't occur to me to use it. I bet I
will remember it from now on. I stuck a few code examples
into my 'snips' directory.
Generator expressions are new to me. I have seen it's use
but I didn't understand what it was and what it was doing,
until now. Thanks again.
