[ruby-core:108642] [Ruby master Feature#18595] Alias `String#-@` as `String#dedup`

From: "byroot (Jean Boussier)" <noreply@...>
Date: 2022-05-20 18:32:59 UTC
List: ruby-core #108642
Issue #18595 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).

Thank you Matz!

----------------------------------------
Feature #18595: Alias `String#-@` as `String#dedup`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18595#change-97688

* Author: byroot (Jean Boussier)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
This is a rescoped feature request for https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16295

### Rationale

[Unary operator have some precedence oddities](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16150#note-39) (@headius)

This often force to use parentheses, which is awkward and breaks the chaining flow.

It's really not obvious what it does. I submitted many pull requests to various open source projects to reduce their memory footprint, and I am constantly asked what it does and I have to point to the `String#-@` documentation. [The last example was 3 days ago](https://github.com/dry-rb/dry-schema/pull/399#issuecomment-1043963073).

I believe that `String#dedup` would help users discover this feature, and in projects where 3.2 is the oldest supported version, it would allow for much clearer code.

### Proposal

It's all in the title: Alias `String#-@` as `String#dedup`.

Or maybe even rename `String#-@` as `String#dedup`, and make `String#-@` the alias?
