Yes, I have almost exclusively used #alias_method in the past, but it's always seems rather silly to have to use the longer term. And I bet it would be an easy adjustment to support a comma. Btw, I really dislike using the non-symbol form of alias as it sticks out under syntax highlighters like a sore thumb. ---------------------------------------- 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/
