You're mistaken again. (: 'join determines the type of what's returned
by the first value it's given, (in certain cases), so this returns a
tag...

and this a string...

== {
<a href="">}

== string!
I said "in certain cases" as it returns a string where joining to a
datatype doesn't make sense, as with numbers...
>> join 10 20
== "1020"
