[ruby-core:118970] [Ruby master Feature#20703] Alias StringIO#string to StringIO#to_s

[sebyx07 (Sebastian Buza) via ruby-core]

Issue #20703 has been reported by sebyx07 (Sebastian Buza).

Feature #20703: Alias StringIO#string to StringIO#to_s
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20703

* Author: sebyx07 (Sebastian Buza)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
# Description
Allow to use `StringIO.new('my string').to_s` to be the same as `StringIO.new('my string').string`

IMO nobody really uses the current StringIO#to_s, so I don't think it will break other apps.

That way you can also do interpolation easily
```ruby
my_sio = StringIO.new('my string')

puts "value: #{my_sio}" # value: my string
```

+1
Might also consider adding #to_str, as I think it makes sense to consider StringIO to be a kind of string.

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) via ruby-core]

Issue #20703 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

At this developers' meeting, no one was favor of this.

IMO, `StringIO` is not a `String`-like object.

[ruby-core:119062] [Ruby master Feature#20703] Alias StringIO#string to StringIO#to_s/to_str

[matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) via ruby-core]

Issue #20703 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


Since `StringIO` is a IO-like object, not String-like object, so it should not provide `to_str`. And string body of a StringIO tends to be long, so simple alias of `string` to `to_s` does not always work well.
So please use `string` method if you want string body from a StringIO.

Matz.
