Comment (by sylvain.joyeux):

 In Ruby, << adds elements to an array. If you see (as typelib does)
 strings as collections of characters, it is normal that << only appends
 one character (but NOT normal that it does not raise an exception if given
 a string of size != 1).

 What you would like to have is #concat(), which unfortunately is broken
 for string types.

 In general, however, you should not have to manipulate /std/string objects
 directly.What's your use case ?
