given an array, it joins it through the values of the iterable argument,
without ever resulting to undefined
['a', 'b', 'c'].joinWith(['-']) would produce "a-b-c"
['a', 'b', 'c'].joinWith([1, 2]) would produce "a1b2c"
['a', 'b', 'c'].joinWith('012') would produce "a0b1c"
note the string, as iterable, is acceptable too
const tag = (template, ...values) => template.joinWith(values);
tag`a${Math.random()}b${Math.random()}`; would fill the gap between a and
b, or b and c, with the value returned by the two Math.random()
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].joinWith('01'); would produce "a0b1c0d" so that
there's never an `undefined
