Subject: [ruby-core:52631] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7906] Giving meaning to ->foo


Issue #7906 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


Please fix. Sigh.
----------------------------------------
Feature #7906: Giving meaning to ->foo 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7906#change-36716

Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal

Category: core
Target version: 2.1.0


=begin
I noticed that `->word` doesn't mean anything. i.e.

  >> ->foo
  SyntaxError: (irb):4: syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting keyword_do_LAMBDA or tLAMBEG
	from /opt/Ruby/1.9.3-p327/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

If that is always so, then could it be given a meaning as a shorthand for method()? i.e.

  ->foo

would be the same as writing

  method(:foo).to_proc

=end
