This seems "unclean" to me.  We're sending a needless "value" to an
empty block.

I'd rather see something like:

do: operation separatedBy: separator

	self inject: true into: [ :firstTime :each |
		firstTime ifFalse: [separator value].
		operation value: each.
		false]

If you'll indulge me.  It'll probably even bytecompile tighter. :)
