hmm -- this is making me think that maybe we should re-enable sum() for
strings -- with an optimized path, rather than an TypeError.
I understand the lesson that is supposed to be provided by making that an
error, but I'm not sure it really helps anyone really learn anything.
would that be more "intuitive" than "".join() maybe -- the fact that the
Error was explicitly added implies that people were trying to do it.
