However, join() is really bizarre. The list rather than the
separator should be the leading actor.

Certainly *not*! This would be the way ruby does it, and IMHO it
does not make sense to add join as a string-processing related
method/functionality to a general purpose sequence type.

Okay, my wording was unfortunate. However, I've already twice
(before and after the above posting of mine) said what I mean,
namely join(list, separator), possibly with a default value for
"separator".

Tschö,
Torsten.
