How about we deprecate them officially? Concretely: * Mention in the documentation that class variables are deprecated and should be avoided/should not be used. * Add a parse-time deprecation warning, now that we only see those with `Warning[:deprecation] = true` it seems reasonable to add. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
