There was (still is?) a neat Python module named "Quixote" that
brilliantly had a type of function called a "template" that
concatenated and returned the string values returned by every bare
expression in its code.  Thus:

template t(n):
    'Hello, world, the number is '
    str(n)
    '.'

t(3)

would result in "Hello, world, the number is 3."  It made the idiom of
first listing several strings, then doing the join() all at once, very
convenient.
