But right now the point is: join() does something completely different and should be renamed (or
deprecated in std.string and replaced by union() - a real join isn't needed in std.string anyway,
but when join() is deprecated in std.string you can implement a real join in std.algorithm without
causing too much confusion).
I like the std.string.join() function, in Python I use the str.join() method
often... :-)

Then the name in python sucks as well :P
IMHO when using the word "join" in a programming context - especially when dealing with (kinds of)
iterators, it should mean the relational algebra/database join and not some kind of concatenation.
But maybe I just had too many database lectures at university ;-)
