Now join itself would make a good standard 
(as in other languages) addition to "strings" script, 
to complement cut, split, etc.

   '-' join ;:'a bc def'
a-bc-def
   LF join ;:'a bc def'    NB. a great relief at last
a
bc
def

Another interesting fact: adverb is 20% faster than verb:
(but verb interface is still more preferable)

   ts'(;@(#^:_1!.(<a))~  1 0$~_1 2 p.#) b'
0.0125231 1.57574e6

   join=: ' '&$. : (4 : '(;@(#^:_1!.(<x))~  1 0$~_1 2 p.#) y')  NB. ignore $.
   ts'a join b'
0.0166077 1.57638e6

   joinA=: 1 : ';@(#^:_1!.(<m))~  1 0$~_1 2 p.#'
   ts'a joinA b'
0.0123689 1.57517e6
