Subject: [ruby-core:37935] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #5009] Bang method (!) consistency in Ruby 2 API


Issue #5009 has been updated by Michael Klishin.


If this is a proposal for renaming aforementioned methods, it will break a lot of existing code. If the idea is to add aliases, it will introduce Ruby 2-specific methods that will not be used for a really long time by developers who want to maintain compatibility with multiple Ruby versions.

Feature #5009: Bang method (!) consistency in Ruby 2 API

Hello,

In Ruby 2, please use bang methods (those that end with !) consistently in the API.  For example, the Ruby 1 API inconsistently names the following "destructive" methods plainly (without a bang):

* Array#push
* Array#pop
* Array#shift
* Array#unshift
* Array#concat
* Array#delete
* Array#clear

Please convert these into bang methods in the Ruby 2 API.

Thanks for your consideration.
=end
