For the record, I have always thought that str.join should call str
on all its arguments. The fact that it doesn't is really annoying.
Given:
values = ["Hello", b"World"]
would you expect ' '.join(values) to return
"Hello b'World'"
because that's what you'll get calling str automatically.
It wouldn't be ideal, but yes, I would prefer that to the current
situation where `' '.join(['a', 1])` is an error.
