Subject: [ruby-core:47658] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7055] Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=`


Issue #7055 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


It would collide with existing notation:

    h = {}
    .default = 3
    
    p h # => 3

A dot beginning a line in 1.9 uses the previous statement as a receiver.

I propose to make the use of `self` in method calls optional:

  .foo = 'bar'

instead of

  self.foo = 'bar'

This only matters of course for assignment methods, to distinguish a method call from creating or setting a local variable.
