title: "ITEM : %s \n".join()
body: <p>I was wondering is there a built in function, similiar to <code>str.join()</code> that provides a join where the iteratable parameter can be inserted as a format string :</p>
  
  <pre><code>"ITEM : %s \n".join(["apple", "pear", "rabbit"])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Outputs :</p>
  
  <pre><code>ITEM : apple 
  ITEM : pear 
  ITEM : rabbit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know how to write my own utility function, just wondering if there is a built in function that I have overlooked.</p>
