What would you expect to happen with this line: ['foo', b'foo', 37, re.compile('foo')].join('_') List are not restricted to containing only strings (or things that are string-like enough that they might play well with joining). Growing a method that pertains only to that specialized sort of list breaks the mental model of Python. Moreover, there is no way to TELL if a particular list is a "list of strings" other than checking each item inside it (unlike in many languages). -- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons.
