I think it's far clearer to simply say that the array is flattened (in effect, though not by calling #flatten) before being joined.


Yes, I thought about that but #flatten isn't actually called and so
I thought that would be misleading.  Also it would imply that an
intermediate representation of the array is constructed, which also
isn't true.  I figured that adding the caveats would be more confusing
then simply avoiding the term 'flatten'.

try something like:

Every sub-array is converted to a string by applying join recursively, essentially flattening the array.
