Bug #13306
closed[DOC] rdoc for IO#puts
Description
This would effectively revert your recent r57944, so please give ok for me to apply this patch.
I don't think the mention of IO#write (or IO#print) is necessary (implementation detail); instead I expanded the docs with some information copied from write/print, like e.g. mention of to_s
.
And I do not understand at all how puts should have an effect on the input record separator, or why someone would assume it might have.
