I don't disagree, after all, there are many NPM packages that contain
really short functions, we could package the function on its own. I
see that the "implode" namespace is not taken on PyPi, so, what do you
suggest it would look like ? from implode import implode ? Or can you
suggest better names ?

To be user friendly software will need to build proper text output.
And most of the time joining a sequence is the best way to go. But, I
often mistake because switching over from os.path.join and str.join.
