Isn't that the bit shift operator? :-)

Noted. I usually call it the append operator.

In C++, it's often called the insertion operator. I have been thinking
of it as such in Ruby.

Exactly.

I never understand why people think of duck typing as being unique to
dynamic languages. C++ has great support for static, generic
programming, and a lot of what Ruby does at run-time, C++ can do at
compile-time.

Of course, Ruby has plenty of advantages of its own. :)
