I think so, but yours is better (and is now the new wording)

Even better would be an implementation (in C) like:
if $_.chomp?
str = $_.dup.chomp!
end
where chomp? did the initial setup for the chomp, and returned true if
the string would be modified, and then chomp! could use that work to
change the string.
On performance tests I've been doing, string object creations are a
BAD THING, so eliminating that dup would be good.
