        Mea culpa...

        Guess it's time for me to review the library reference for basic data
types again. I'm so used to the .join(.split()) (usually for other purposes
-- like a quick&dirty TSV/CSV formatting without importing the csv module).
The only firm item is that I do not look at any regular expression module
if I can come up with something using native data type methods -- and using
the overhead of re with just simple text [ie; nothing that might be called
an "expression" designed to match /varying/ content) seems really
inefficient.
