It's only four characters. =end ---------------------------------------- Feature #7055: Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7055#change-29801 Author: alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov) Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: =begin 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. =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
