ERB currently does not work with --enable-frozen-string-literal:

$ echo "a" | RUBYOPT=--enable-frozen-string-literal erb
-:1:in `concat': can't modify frozen String (RuntimeError)
        from -:1:in `<main>'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3/erb.rb:864:in `eval'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3/erb.rb:864:in `result'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3/erb.rb:846:in `run'
        from /usr/local/bin/erb23:149:in `run'
        from /usr/local/bin/erb23:170:in `<main>'

The attached patch makes it work with --enable-frozen-string-literal:

$ echo "a" | RUBYOPT=--enable-frozen-string-literal RUBYLIB=~/ruby/lib erb
a

erb.rb: frozen-string-literal safe
