Ooops.
"finally coerces the list to a string", which it does by inserting the
current text item delimiters, whatever they may be, between each list item
when turning it into a string. That's precisely what tids DO.
So if he doesn't set them as he wants them - whether it was {", "}, {" "},
{""}, {return} or whatever, you just might end up with ":" between each list
item. or maybe "gopher" or "http" or "A very long sentence used as a
marker." Of course he has to set tids to {""} if he's trying to turn a list
of characters into a string with no interlopers.
