That would be me, but I am not going to make a slide. Some one else can if they like. Personally I think it's obvious. #merge is one of the most commonly used methods of Hash, so having an operator for it, if at all possible, is a no-brainer in my opinion. Given the options, what other operator even comes close in meaning more so than #+? So merge is not commutative. Big deal. Technically neither is String#+.

Feature #6225: Hash#+

Category: core
Target version: next minor


Strings and Arrays can be combined with #+. I don't see any reason not to allow Hashes to do so as well.

  class Hash
    alias :+ :merge
  end
