[ruby-core:28922] Re: [Feature #1961] Kernel#__dir__

From: Charles Oliver Nutter <headius@...>

This is nice but would not be backward compatible with code that  
depends on __FILE__ actually being a string (any code that splits on /  
or builds a path with + "../" for example. Maybe a subclass of String?  
Is there a down side to that?

class FileString < String
   def dir
     File.dirname(self)
   end
end
