Because you have two ways to copy a string : - a copy of the full string - a partial copy from start index to stop index does this POV makes it clearer ?

This does not help, as we also have a.o. - allButFirst: - allButLast: - first: - last: -reverse: - sortBy: and compare to: - after: - before: - appendTo: - sort: and then to: - copyEmpty or even to: - truncateWithElipsisTo: How am I supposed to know if I change the original vs get a copy?
