    "foo bar baz".words.join(',').words.join(':') ne 'foo:bar:baz';

so somewhere in that process, foo, bar and baz managed to no longer be
words by the definition of words used by an on whitespace splitting
words method - they're one word, together, when they're joined on comma.

It was a demonstration of why "words" for this feature is a bad name,
not anything against the presentation using commas.
