Description

For consistency, String should probably have a crypt! method that looks like this:
  def crypt!(salt=nil)
    replace(crypt(salt))
  end

Note: This has salt=nil, from the suggestion in #259.

I see no reason to have String#crypt!
Having a bang method for each string method is just insane.
you need a better reason than consistency to introduce a new method.
