Issue #7873 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).

Category set to ext
Status changed from Open to Rejected

It is intended.  StringIO only pretends to be an IO, it is not backed by a socket or file like an IO is.

Bug #7873: StringIO does not respond to to_io
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7873#change-36353

In my project, I'm using "object.respond_to? :to_io" to check if the object is IO-ish[1].
(I heard that this is the preferred way to do that some time ago.)

However, StringIO does not seem to define to_io.  Is this intended?
