Issue #20703 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).

Might also consider adding #to_str, as I think it makes sense to consider StringIO to be a kind of string.

Feature #20703: Alias StringIO#string to StringIO#to_s
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20703#change-109544
* Author: sebyx07 (Sebastian Buza)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
# Description
Allow to use `StringIO.new('my string').to_s` to be the same as `StringIO.new('my string').string`
IMO nobody really uses the current StringIO#to_s, so I don't think it will break other apps.
That way you can also do interpolation easily
```ruby
my_sio = StringIO.new('my string')
# current
puts "value: #{my_sio}" # value: #<StringIO:0x0000764bba88eec0>
# after
puts "value: #{my_sio}" # value: my string
```
