This modifies the following String methods to return String instances
instead of subclass instances:
* String#*
* String#capitalize
* String#center
* String#chomp
* String#chop
* String#delete
* String#delete_prefix
* String#delete_suffix
* String#downcase
* String#dump
* String#each/#each_line
* String#gsub
* String#ljust
* String#lstrip
* String#partition
* String#reverse
* String#rjust
* String#rpartition
* String#rstrip
* String#scrub
* String#slice!
* String#slice/#[]
* String#split
* String#squeeze
* String#strip
* String#sub
* String#succ/#next
* String#swapcase
* String#tr
* String#tr_s
* String#upcase
This also fixes a bug in String#swapcase where it would return the
receiver instead of a copy of the receiver if the receiver was the
empty string.
Some string methods were left to return subclass instances:
* String#+@
* String#-@
Both of these methods will return the receiver (subclass instance)
in some cases, so it is best to keep the returned class consistent.
Fixes [#10845]
This removes the related tests, and puts the related specs behind
version guards. This affects all code in lib, including some
libraries that may want to support older versions of Ruby.
* Other ruby implementations use the spec/ruby directory.
