[Python-ideas] Add list.join() please

[David Mertz]

Of course not! The request was for something that worked on Python
*collections*. If the OP wanted something that worked on iterables in
general, we'd need a different function with different behavior.

Of course, it also doesn't work on dictionaries. I don't really have any
ideas what the desired behavior might be for dicts. Various things are
conceivable, none obvious. But it's fine on lists, sets, tuples, deques,
and some other things that are roughly sequence-like.
