In fact, there's already a track ticket for that (and I think that's the discussion Laurent was looking for): http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/726 :-) -- Thibault Martin-Lagardette On Jul 13, 2010, at 13:02, Laurent Sansonetti wrote:
Hi,
I believe this has been discussed on trac already, although I can't seem to find the ticket.
In short, this is expected behavior. A method added to the String class will only be available to strings created from Ruby. If you want a method to be available to all strings, add it to the NSString class. I do agree that this can be confusing behavior and maybe we can try to reduce the confusion somehow. This design was implemented in 0.6 and is the result of several debates. I personally didn't expect people would notice this :)

What is the expected result of line 20?
On the one hand cocoa_string is an NSString so the monkey patch shouldn't have any effect, but on the other cocoa_string is claiming to be a ruby String.
