I like the design.

I hate to write File.open(filename: "foo") .  Just redundant.
I don't want such a style to be popularized.


BTW, a current optional parameter will be deprecated?
I don't like the feature because it is not extensible.
Actually, I hate to see ERB.new(src, nil, "%") anymore!
It now just complicates the language.

Of course I don't think it will be removed in 2.0.
Let it be just deprecated now, and remove it in further future,
such as 3.0.  What do you think?
