Subject: [ruby-core:71908] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11782] String#+@ and	String#-@

Issue #11782 has been updated by Koichi Sasada.


The purpose of this proposal is to encourage frozen string literals and provide better way than `"foo".dup`. So that `String#-@` can be redundancy.

[ruby-core:71879] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11759] 

So that this is a ticket for that.
I'll commit it ASAP to check this methods before 2.3.

Specification:

* `+'foo'` returns modifiable string.
* `-'foo'` returns frozen string (because wasters will freeze below 0 degree in Celsius).
