Subject: [ruby-core:50404] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4276] Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes


Issue #4276 has been updated by bitsweat (Jeremy Kemper).


This would improve a lot of my code that's punctuated with `{ foo: bar, :'hoge' => piyo }`. Switching syntax is a mental and visual interruption.

I hope Ruby 2 supports this quoted-symbol syntax from the first day it's released, so everyone can rely on it. Please consider this patch for preview2!

Feature #4276: Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes

=begin
 Current syntactic sugar allows this:
 hash = {Alabama: "AL"}
 
 This feature request is to also allow symbols delimited by quotes (and thus able to contain a whitespace) to use an equivalent syntactic sugar:
 hash2 = {"Rhode Island": "RI"}
=end
