Subject: [ruby-core:28802] [Feature #1873] MatchData#[]: Omits All But Last Captures Corresponding to the Same Named Group

Issue #1873 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh.


Hi,

> How about overloading MatchData#values_at ?

Why do you attempt to reuse existing method? :-/
I think it is better to introduce new method like MatchData#all_values.


> >> 'haystack'.match(/(?<h>ay).+(?<h>a(?<seek>ck))/).values_at(:seek, 'h')
> ['ck','ay','ack']

I expect values_at returns an array whose length is equal to the number
of arguments.


By the way, I think it is strange (or even a bug) for MatchData#values_at
to reject Symbols.
