Subject: [ruby-core:47756] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7055] Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=`


Issue #7055 has been updated by stomar (Marcus Stollsteimer).


=begin
A single dot is very unobtrusive. So I just think that `.foo` and `foo` resp. `@.foo` and `@foo` would look too similar to be easily distinguished, especially when browsing through larger pieces of code.

=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.
