Priority changed from Normal to Low If that this is your biggest pet peeve, you must really love Ruby! Just use `alias_method` instead. The `alias` keyword is more general and allows other aliases like global variables; also you don't need to give symbols to `alias`, you can write `alias foo bar`. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6074: Allow alias arguments to have a comma https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6074 Author: Thomas Sawyer Status: Open Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Target version: This is one my biggest pet peeves with Ruby. I am always typing: alias :foo, :bar And getting a damn syntax error. Btw, is there a reason why `alias` is a keyword and not a method? -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
