From: "nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)" Date: 2013-03-25T15:02:10+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:53712] [Backport 200 - Backport #7936] backport r39449 Issue #7936 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). Yes, it's meaningful, but the documents are inaccurate on that point. Any *_defined? methods don't convert the argument to a Symbol always. I don't think the distinguishment between symbol and string here is important enough. And the name _symbol_/_string_ seems less meaningful. I'd suggest to change the argument names and mention that it can be a symbole or a string. ---------------------------------------- Backport #7936: backport r39449 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7936#change-37913 Author: zzak (Zachary Scott) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga) Category: Target version: -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
