 This is kinda unexpected:

 {{{
 class String
   def foo
     "bar"
   end
 end

 s = NSString.alloc.initWithString("Test")
 String(s).foo
 # => NoMethodError: undefined method `foo' for "Test":String
 }}}

 Using String.new() get's you the expected result, but I would think that
 String() should as well...
