From: caleb clausen Date: 2010-03-04T14:53:05+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28459] [Feature #2759] Regexp /g and /G options Issue #2759 has been updated by caleb clausen. It seems to me that Michael has a burning need for this feature and it can't be (easily) provided any other way. TextMate is one of the foremost development environments for ruby; it should be possible to rewrite it entirely in ruby but the lack of this feature makes that it hard to run textmate bundles. It appears there is a patch already. The objections to this feature amounted to "it's complicated for users to understand and no-one needs it". Which would be a perfectly valid justification if true, but clearly Michael does need it, and has been willing to argue extensively for it. In short, there are compelling reasons to accept this feature, and very little reason to reject it. This issue has been closed, but it ought to be reopened. As Michael's last comment indicates, the fix supplied (r26796) does address the smallest of the problems he's seeing, but the broader issue is not yet resolved. It's a step in the right direction, but it looks like his original suggested new feature needs to be implemented in its full glory. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2759 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
