preferably use RubyString.newString() the newEmptyString is for cases such as return ''

maybe the RubyString allocation (above) can be delayed until its sure a buffer is not provided?

why is this introduced here? is it due the obj.convertToString() removal? (would keep it than)

In my original implementation I hadn't considered what would happen if the buffer were nil or some other class besides String. MRI Ruby throws a type error, and this seemed to be the most straightforward way of mirroring that behavior.

buffer.convertToString() will do that for you - raising a TypeError e.g. on nil
... ClassCastException isn't very bad but theoretically might happen from some other place
if you could update to get rid of it that would be great ... the rest of the code is great merge material!
