(with the same efficient semantics).
Actually, there is no need to wait for 0.sum() to propose "".sum... but
it is only a spelling change, so no real benefit.
Thinking about this more, maybe it should be a class function, so that
it wouldn't require an instance:
str.sum( iterable_containing_strings )
[ or str.join( iterable_containing_strings ) ]
