Decorate Joiner Outputs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think a new additional function to decorate the Joiner output will be useful.
Example :
    int[] arr= {1,2,3};
    Joiner.on(", ").decorate('(',')').join(Ints.asList(arr)));
Output:
(1,2,3)

"(" + Joiner.on(", ").join(Ints.asList(arr))) + ")";
will do the same and is shorter ;-)

but decoration may be seen as outputting "(1),(2),(3)" instead.

Which is more in adequacy with the logic of the join for me.

How about:

"(" + Joiner.on("},{").join(Ints.asList(arr))) + ")";

I'd like to keep Joiner focused on being a Joiner, not a JoinerAndSurrounder.
