Subject: [ruby-core:50667] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6074] Allow alias arguments to have a comma


Issue #6074 has been updated by alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov).


=begin
Just another idea in this direction: allow

  def :foo, :bar do
    puts bar
  end

in addition to

  def foo(bar)
    puts bar
  end

(the "(({do}))" in the first case can be optional).
=end

This is one my biggest pet peeves with Ruby. I am always typing:

  alias :foo, :bar

And getting a damn syntax error.

Btw, is there a reason why `alias` is a keyword and not a method?
