We are open to proposals.

But I have to say: Ruby has been out there for more than 6 years.
It's a long time for a software, isn't it?  Ruby is older than Java.

Back to the original issue, recently I changed the Array#to_s behavior
(not in a way you proposed, but anyway), and it caused many problems
so that I restored old bahavior.  So I guess this proposal might be
sort of hard one.
