From: Marc-Andre Lafortune Date: 2009-09-19T05:47:50+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:25639] [Feature #1431] Object#__class__ Issue #1431 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune. -1 because: a) __class__ is more keystrokes (if you count the shift key) b) self.class is clear (and exists currently) c) I feel that __something__ should ideally be reserved for special cases; self.class isn't. I am aware that __FILE__ was used a lot before and there's talk about __dir__, but I think that require_relative is now a better solution for most of these cases. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1431 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
