Subject: [ruby-core:37244] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4910][Open] Classes as factories


Issue #4910 has been reported by Robert Klemme.

----------------------------------------
Feature #4910: Classes as factories
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4910

Author: Robert Klemme
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 


I suggest to add these two to class Class:

class Class
  alias call new

  def to_proc(*args)
    lambda {|*a| new(*args)}
  end
end

Then we can use class instances where blocks are needed and can easily use them as factory instances using the general contract of #call (see example attached).
