StringIO is precious in many cases which have nothing to do with
"concatenating string" but are rather "easily capturing in memory the
input/output of some piece of code which writes to / reads from a
file-like object", so deprecating it would be unwarranted.  A little
rewrite might perhaps be warranted, admittedly;-).
