Hello, I noticed that libxml-ruby 0.3.8's method XML::Node#<<(child) returns 'child' instead of 'self'.
This is inconsistent with the typical behavior one would expect from the << operator; '<<' for Array, IO, and Set all return 'self', which makes it easy to add multiple elements with a one-liner like parent << child1 << child2 << child3 However, if 'parent' is an XML::Node, 'child2' will be its grandchild instead of its second child. Wouldn't it be better to change the behavior of XML::Node#<< to follow the convention and return 'self'? I'm not sure whether this is a big API change, but the current libxml doc says nothing about the return value of <<.
