Isn't "map(str, x)" just a second way to write "[str(x) for x in y]"?

This "second way" argument is another often-heard bogon.  There are
lots of second-way and third-way techniques in Python, and properly
so.  It's more important to make things work consistently than to only
have "one way".  "sum" should concatenate strings.
