Feature #1081: add File::write() convenience method
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1081

Author: Suraj Kurapati
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: core, Target version: 1.9.2

Please add a File::write() convenience method to the core Ruby API.

Currently, it is easier to read whole files than to write them:

  # reading a whole file --- less effort
  text = File::read('foo.txt')

  # writing a whole file --- more effort
  File::open('foo.txt', 'wb') {|f| f.write 'ruby!' }

This imbalance can be corrected by adding a File::write method,
such as the following, to the core Ruby API:

  class File
    def self.write path, data, mode = 'wb'
      open(path, mode) {|f| f.write data }
    end
  end

Thanks for your consideration.
