Subject: [ruby-core:71956] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11782] String#+@ and	String#-@

Issue #11782 has been updated by Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas.


how about splitting strings like this?

~~~
long_string = 'first part ' +
  'second part ' +
  'last part'
~~~

Should long_string be optimized by the compiler to generate 'first part second part last part' as a frozen string, or should it actually perform the additions and generate a modified string?

[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).
