Subject: [ruby-core:43002] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6074] Allow alias arguments to have a comma


Issue #6074 has been updated by markus heiler.


I myself prefer "alias" because:

- It does not require a ','
- It is shorter to type
- It reads easier.

  def bar
    puts 'Hi from bar.'
  end

  alias foo bar
  alias_method :foo, :bar


The first way is more readable for my poor old eyes.

Feature #6074: Allow alias arguments to have a comma

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?
