This tends to expose more functionality in subclasses and results in less coding. (Of course, this principle is built upon the more general assumption that a subclass is going to include the functionality of its ancestors.) It make sense that String#scan, String#slice, String#dup all return various parts of the given string. Would it make sense for SpecializeString#dup to return a String? Shouldn't #slice, #split and #scan do the same thing? Why not assume that a substring of a string is the same kind of string? What's the advantage of the old behavior? -J
