Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) Sorry, I didn't know alias syntax accepts symbols as arguments! Then I agree with this proposal. Ruby always gives me a fresh surprise for me. -- Yusuke Endoh ---------------------------------------- Feature #6074: Allow alias arguments to have a comma https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6074#change-25387 Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer) Status: Assigned Priority: Low Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) Category: core Target version: 2.0.0 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/
