Heiler* Status: Open* Priority: Normal* Assignee: ----------------------------------------Hello.For Strings we can do: abc = 'world!' abc[0,0] = 'Hello ' abc # => "Hello world!"For Arrays we can do: abc = ['world!'] abc[0,0] = 'Hello ' abc # => ["Hello ", "world!"]This is nice.For Strings we can also use .prepend() to add to the beginning.For Arrays, we have to use .unshift().I have a hard time remembering .unshift though, .prepend() seemsto be easier for me to remember.I'd like to use both .prepend for Strings and Arrays; right nowI have to use different names. I could alias prepend to unshiftfor class Array, but then I'd have to carry these modificationsinto my projects, which is not so good - I would prefer to juststick to what MRI is doing.Could we have the alias .prepend() for class Array, meaning .unshift() too? That way I could use .prepend() for both Arraysand Strings.Thanks for reading!-- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
