String.name should return "String" and not "NSMutableString"

String.name # => "NSMutableString"

I believe that it is a ruby expectation that core classes will have the same name on any ruby implementation. Extlib and other libraries rely on this fact.

#name and #to_s should probably return "String" when the receiver is NSMutableString (same for Array, Hash and Set) for compatibility purposes. However I would prefer to keep #inspect showing the real class name.

That should be fixed in trunk as of r3858.
