Here's my 'true' dot syntax solution :
(using 'put' feels like cheating to me)
someString = someString.char[1..4] & "-" & someString.char
[6..someString.char.count]
but it does something slightly different, in that it allocates a new
string and deletes the old one, where the derivates of put alter the
variable in memory (in place), which is MUCH FASTER especially, if
you have to deal with long string variables.
personally I have no problem with using the syntax, which best fits
my needs (I can't figure out, if I ever will replace "go the frame"
with "_movie.go(_movie.frame)"), but still I think, that "put" wasn't
dot-i-fied, as it is a "global function" and might very well be
translated to something like:
"put ... into" -> insertChunk(str, chunk, fromPosition [,
toPosition])
"put ... after" -> appendChunk(str, chunk)
"put ... before" -> prependChunk(str, chunk)
but, hey, "put" is short and straightforwarded and there 'still' are
some very annoying bugs to fix, before wasting time on aesthetics...
