#328 joined
Testing the joined gem, a low-dependency implementation of the Rails to_sentence method.
Notes
The joined gem is a relatively new project that aims to provide the same features as the to_sentence method from Rails, but without the Rails overhead.
It currently does not support :locale but as of version 0.2.0,
it has all the necessary options to control delimiters between words.

Testing Canonical Examples
The test_joined.rb script exercises the gem with some typical cases:
%w[apples oranges pears].joined
=> "apples, oranges, and pears"
%w[apples oranges pears].joined(oxford: false)
=> "apples, oranges and pears"
%w[apples oranges pears].joined(words_connector: ' - ')
=> "apples - oranges, and pears"
%w[apples oranges pears].joined(last_word_connector: ', - ')
=> "apples, oranges, - pears"
%w[apples oranges pears].joined(words_connector: ' - ', last_word_connector: ', - ', oxford: false)
=> "apples - oranges - pears"
