https://bugs.python.org/issue41242

According to BPO-41242, it is better to use join than += when concatenating multiple strings.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b26a0db8ea2de3a8a8e4b40e69fc8642c7d7cb68/Lib/asyncio/queues.py#L82

However, the link above uses += in the same pattern. I think we'd better change this to `str.join()`

That is not performance-critical code, and in that case it is clearer to use `+=` than str.join.

Closing the issue; Andrew or Yury can of course reopen it if they disagree with my assessment.

Changes in bpo-41242 were rejected not because the new code is worse, but because it is not obviously and significantly better that the existing code. Here status quo wins for the same reasons. This rule saves us from endless rewriting the code and allows to focus on important things.
