Subject: Re: AClass() vs. AClass[] constuctors (was Best name for "this method")

This might be of interest:

                  Class [] Method     Kernel () Method

  Array                 x                     x
  Hash                  x
  Struct::Tms           x
  Dir                   x
  Float                                       x
  Integer                                     x
  String                                      x
  Binding                                     x*
  Proc                                        x*

  * methods are not capitalized

So why not make this more consistant, clean up some kernel space, and give 
capitalized methods some legs, with e.g.

  class String
    def self.()(x)
      x.to_s
    end
  end
