Subject: [ruby-core:58303] Re: [ruby-trunk - Feature #9043] Add String#f method as shortcut for #freeze

Fwiw, I am against adding aliases to the same method,
especially extremely short names which are hard to search for.

It is confusing and increases overhead for reading/following code.

Easy-to-write code is not necessary easy-to-read.
