Subject: [ruby-core:61879] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9701] RDoc description for `String#<<` and `String#concat`

Issue #9701 has been updated by Sam Rawlins.


True story, in string.c:

    rb_define_method(rb_cString, "concat", rb_str_concat, 1);
    rb_define_method(rb_cString, "<<", rb_str_concat, 1);

----------------------------------------
Bug #9701: RDoc description for `String#<<` and `String#concat`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9701#change-46091

* ruby -v: 2.1.0p0
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
As far as I can see, `String#<<` is an alias of `String#concat`, but in the RDoc, there is no mentioning of the connection between them. `String#<<` should be simply described as an alias of `String#concat`.
