Re: my own slowness comment.  Just like we avoid .* in body regular
expressions, we should generally avoid using the "join" modifier
ourselves *when* performance would be at risk.  :-)

I have taken a big step back from telling people to write an eval with
the entirety of the proposal.  Still, if you're counting words or
something, regular expressions on the joined single string message type
are not the way to go.
