Dot-equals method?

I don’t think there’s a split! method since that would cause a type change
on the receiver (string to array).

However, if you happen to know the exact format of the string, unpack is
faster than split:

S = ‘hello’
S = S.unpack(“AAAAA”)

Hello,

I keep finding myself wanting to write things like this:

string.=reverse
input.=split /\s*/

instead of this:

string = string.reverse
input = input.split /\s*/

I understand. But in these two cases I guess
you’d want reverse! and split! instead.
