... Seems like we have to rewrite PyUnicodeJoin().

[Uncle Timmy]

We probably should anyway. By eyeball just now, I noticed it slings expressions like "reslen + itemlen + seplen" and "sz*2" without worrying about integer overflow. stringjoin() is careful about such stuff; sooner or later, shortcuts of this nature turn into bug reports

Sounds like an excellent project for Nick. Too bad I had just convinced him it was a can of worms ;-)

I needed a break from intractable database problems, and am almost done with PyUnicode_Join(). I'm not doing auto-unicode(), though, so there will still be plenty of fun left for Nick!
