Subject: [ruby-core:84703] [Ruby trunk Bug#14338] IO#write without args	seems wrong

Issue #14338 has been reported by normalperson (Eric Wong).

----------------------------------------
Bug #14338: IO#write without args seems wrong
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14338

* Author: normalperson (Eric Wong)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: REQUIRED
----------------------------------------
```
"ruby -e STDOUT.write" outputs "#<IO:0x583a2de0>" (without quotes)

"ruby -rstringio -e 'p StringIO.new.write'" shows zero bytes written

The following restores <= 2.4 behavior for IO#write, but other things (StringIO,
OpenSSL, ...) need to be modified, too:

diff --git a/io.c b/io.c
index eeaf0c021c..0d95d12a9b 100644
--- a/io.c
+++ b/io.c
@@ -1675,7 +1675,10 @@ io_writev(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io)
 static VALUE
 io_write_m(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io)
 {
-    if (argc > 1) {
+    if (argc <= 0) {
+	rb_error_arity(argc, 1, UNLIMITED_ARGUMENTS);
+    }
+    else if (argc > 1) {
 	return io_writev(argc, argv, io);
     }
     else {


Opinions?  Should we raise or just return 0 when no args are given?
```
