String#to

Returns a substring from the beginning of the string to the given position.
If the position is negative, it is counted from the end of the string.

  str = "hello"
  str.to(0)  # => "h"
  str.to(3)  # => "hell"
  str.to(-2) # => "hell"

You can mix it with +from+ method and do fun things like:

  str = "hello"
  str.from(0).to(-1) # => "hello"
  str.from(1).to(-2) # => "ell"
