From: Andrew Grimm Date: 2011-10-31T07:11:32+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:40539] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5361] Lice? Issue #5361 has been updated by Andrew Grimm. Ruby 1.9.3 has been released with the method spelt byteslice. I suspect it will make this spelling change less likely, as people won't want to use byte_slice in Ruby 2.0 but remember to use byteslice in Ruby 1.9.3 patchlevel 0. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5361: Lice? http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5361 Author: Thomas Sawyer Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: core Target version: Err... why is there a new String method for getting the lice of bytes? 'hello'.byteslice(2, 2) # => "ll" I don't like getting lice ;) (In other words what happened to good old readable underscores?) -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
