Visually it's a more pleasing API than the `import` keyword, but would it be available in any module or just refinements? If any module, we'd now have _three_ mixin mechanisms: include, prepend, import. IMO that's overly complex. If just refinements, it feels inconsistent. IMO we'll have people asking why they can't use `import` in classes and modules. As a keyword it's clear this is a refinement-only behavior. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17429: Prohibit include/prepend in refinement modules https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17429#change-89950 * Author: shugo (Shugo Maeda) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- include/prepend in refinement modules has implementation difficulties such as #17007 and #17379, and tends to be misleading like #17374. How about to prohibit it in future versions? Method copy like #17380 may be more convenient, but it's confusing to use names include and prepend because semantics is different from the original ones. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
