Summary
Ruby 3 introduces an incompatibility that all String methods return String instances when called on a subclass instance.
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10845
ruby/ruby#3701
This slightly affects our ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer that subclasses String, and here's a patch for
SafeBuffer#[]
andSafeBuffer#*
to preserve Ruby 2 behavior (= return another SafeBuffer instance) in Ruby 3.Note that almost all other methods that were changed in Ruby 3.0 were overridden on SafeBuffer to return a String already, so only two methods here were needed to be patched for the tests to pass.
