just stating "it's less safe because it's less safe" is not what I call an 
argument. letting choice is just giving consciousness to the programmer, not 
making things less safe.

OK don't care, people will then continue to do their Join as "text = 
wxT(""); for (i=0; i<length; +i) text += array[i]", they will still claim 
that wx is damn slow, and we here will wonder 'but why do they say that'.
