Summary: inspect.formatargspec last argument ignored

Initial Comment:
from: patrick at laculine.com

The last argument of inspect.formatargspect() is a function to control the way the entire returned string is formatted:

 ...join=joinseq):

joinseq being a function at line 757 in inspect.py

However, this argument is ignored and joinseq is not called.

The line in question is inspect.py 794 it was:

    return '(' + string.join(specs, ', ') + ')'

The function seems to work as advertised if this line is replaced by: 

    return join(specs)

A simple look at the source proves your point. BTW, the same problem
exists for formatargvalues(). Do you think you can work up a patch? The
code change itself would be simple but the patch would require a test case.
