I don't really understand what you're upset about then.  You asked if
there was a difference between what Bertram wrote and what you did,
and there absolutely is.   His splits by line, mirroring the behaviour
of 1.8

But I suggested perhaps aliasing to String#lines, since it is the more
powerful replacement for String#to_a

Though your suggestion might be useful for something, when you want to
do array coercion, Array() is what should be used.  The behaviour you
suggested, just wrapping in brackets, is what Object#to_a does and
it's IMO a good thing that this is removed in 1.9
