Hi,
I suggest that we should remove NSStirng#method_missing.
Because an index number for NSString is character based, while one for
Ruby String is byte based.
I ported many Ruby String methods to NSString, and these are character
based. So now NSString have both character based methods and byte
based methods.
For example, scan method.
I haven't ported the scan method. So when I call NSString#scan, it
causes a method_missing call and it would be passed to String#scan.
Therefore,
"あいうえお".to_ns.scan(/い/) {|a| puts $~.begin(0) }
# => 3 (should be 1)
I got 3 in result. But it should be 1 if NSString uses character
based indexes. It's confusing. I want to make NSString methods
confirmed to be character based.
What do you think?
