I really do not see in which way it is less safe.
BTW is there at least a version of Join without separator? it is very useful 
when you happen to join strings which already have their terminator included 
or when there is no such separator at all (in general when your text was 
broken into small pieces for any reason, such as, data records/payloads, 
parsing...)
