Subject: [ruby-core:103795] [Ruby master Feature#17398] SyntaxError in	endless method

Issue #17398 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


I have considered this issue for a while and concluded it should be merged to be consistent with the assignment statement.

----------------------------------------
Feature #17398: SyntaxError in endless method
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17398#change-91910

* Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
This works:
```ruby
def foo() = puts("bar")
```

This does not:
```ruby
def foo() = puts "bar"
#                ^ syntax error, unexpected string literal, expecting `do' or '{' or '('
```

Is this intentional or accidental? Not sure how it is reasoned.
