[Mono-list] How frozen is the API

[James F. Bellinger]

You can already type line = line.TrimEnd('C', 'r', 'l').
No need to do it as a string. :-) The params keyword indicates that it
will form the array for you when you do this. :)

Subject: [Mono-list] How frozen is the API

What are the project's views on adding to the C# API?  For instance, it
seems rather absurd to do this:

              char[] cc = { 'C', 'r', 'l' };
              line = line.TrimEnd(cc);

When a simple overloaded function would allow:

              line = line.TrimEnd("Crl");


For instance, one could simply add the following function to
System.String.cs:

                public String TrimEnd(String s) {
                        if (null == s || s.Length == 0)
                                return InternalTrim(WhiteChars, 2);
                        return InternalTrim(s.ToCharArray(), 2);
                }


Ah, that's much nicer...  But, I assume that since the API is frozen,
this would be a bad idea.  Am I wrong?  Can this functionality be added
somehow?

Thanks,
