Using << to append/add

Hi,

I am using Gtk::Entry and one thing I quite like in Ruby is the <<
ability to just append something onto an object, ie. mostly to a String
or Array.

I.e. on an already existing Gtk::Entry to << append text. I think using
<< is not very common in ruby-gnome so far. I believe << can be used for
Gtk::Window, and maybe at some other places, but I was wondering whether
<< should maybe also work for objects like Gtk::Entry, which basically
just store a text.

PS: This is just a suggestion of course, I totally understand if we want
to stick to Gtk API and not use too many ruby-only constructs :slight_smile:

Nice idea, i like it. Btw. it works for all subclasses of Gtk::Bin

Cheers
