Issue #13626 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams).


If you round trip UTF-8 to ASCII-8BIT and back again, the result should be the same IMHO. It's just the interpretation of the bytes which is different, but the underlying data should be the same. I still think adding `String#byteslice!` is a good idea. Has there been any progress?

Feature #13626: Add String#byteslice!

----------------------------------------
It's a common pattern in IO buffering, to read a part of a string while leaving the remainder.

~~~
# Consume only part of the read buffer:
result = @read_buffer.byteslice(0, size)
@read_buffer = @read_buffer.byteslice(size, @read_buffer.bytesize)
~~~

It would be nice if this code could be simplified to:

~~~
result = @read_buffer.byteslice!(size)
~~~

Additionally, this allows a significantly improved implementation by the interpreter.
