 Well, I don't know the real reason, but File::join take an Array as
 argument. 

 Now when it iterate on each element of the Array, it has 3 case
   * it has a String ==> this give the result
   * it has an Array ==> it call recursively ::join
   * else it to call #to_s

 There are other methods which work like this.
