[ruby-core:44041] Re: [Ruby 1.8 - Bug #6239] super Does Not Pass Modified Rest Args When Originally Empty

Hi,

It has not been considered as a bug.  The old document described this
behavior.  Ko1 asked me to allow behavioral change in 1.9, and I admit.

|Oh, it is?
|
|So you mean that it was a known fact that there was an exceptional case with super and modified rest argument only when that rest argument was empty? And that it was a "feature"? Was there any rationale for that behavior?

|I'm not saying the bug must be fixed, as it can be easily circumvented using explicit arguments, but it definitely looks like a bug to me.
