Subject: [ruby-core:52678] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7906][Rejected] Giving meaning to ->foo


Issue #7906 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

See #7907
----------------------------------------
Feature #7906: Giving meaning to ->foo 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7906#change-36765

Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
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
