I'm not sure why you would encounter code like that in the first place.
Surely any code of the form:

     ''.join(c for c in my_string)

would just return my_string? Or am I missing something?

Good question. Anything useful like "'-'.join(c for c in 'abc')" is the same as "'-'.join('abc'). The same, as far as I can think of, for anything like list() or set() taking an iterable arg.
