What's a simple way to plot a list of points so that they're joined with stair steps instead of straight lines between the points?

I'd imagine something like... 

stairStepListPlot[{{0,0},{1,1},{2,2}}]

...would produce a flat line from {0,0} to {1,0}, then a vertical line from {1,0} to {1,1} and so on.

Can you find a concise way of producing such a plot?

ListPlot can do this with the option InterpolationOrder -> 0 

ListPlot[
   {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 2}},
   InterpolationOrder -> 0,
   Joined -> True]
