Subject: [ruby-core:100977] [Ruby master Feature#17143] Improve support for	warning categories

Issue #17143 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


Regarding `redefine`, though I'm not sure what case you're thinking, guess it's better to declare that method to be redefined.

For instance, the case defer the "real" method definition till called, such as `Binding#irb` and `Kernel#pp` in prelude.rb,

```ruby
class Module
  def overridable(name)
    alias_method name, name
    name
  end
end

class Binding
  overridable def irb
    require 'irb'
    irb
  end
end

module Kernel
  private overridable def pp(*objs)
    require 'pp'
    pp(*objs)
  end
end
```

Feature #17143: Improve support for warning categories
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17143#change-88640

* Author: jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Support was recently added for Warning.warn to accept a `category` keyword.  However, the initial implementation was limited to having `rb_warn_deprecated` and `rb_warn_deprecated_to_remove` use the `:deprecated` value for the `category` keyword.

It doesn't make sense to me to have a `category` keyword if it is only used for deprecation, so I propose we extend the support so that `Kernel#warn` accepts a category keyword (for Ruby-level warnings) and `rb_category_warn` and `rb_category_warning` functions be added to the C-API (for C-level warnings).  I also propose that we change existing `rb_warn` and `rb_warning` calls to `rb_category_warn` and `rb_category_warning`, so that all warnings issued by core Ruby are issued with an appropriate category.

I have implemented support for this in a pull request: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3508
