Subject: [ruby-core:64064] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9650] [Feedback] String#size versus String#length

Issue #9650 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Status changed from Open to Feedback

Why `size` in bytes and `length` in chars, not vice versa?

Hi guys !

A quick idea for the next major version :

String#size => bytes length
String#length => chars length 

Could this be a good move or too much BC break ?
