Yes, I just rediscovered that it's implemented in table.concat (thanks Steffen). I learned about lua somewhere in 2004 or 2005, so I must have read about that algorithm in PiL before, I read that book from start to finish at that time. I guess I had forgotten about this particular chapter. 

In any case thanks again for all your reactions :)

Or you might put all your strings into a single table and use table.concat. 

IIRC it already uses the algorithm that you are mentioning.
Yes, this function was introduced after the article was written: there was a need, it was filled...
The article Mark searches is LTN 9 - Creating strings piece by piece <http://www.lua.org/notes/ltn009.html>
