Subject: [ruby-core:56516] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8765][Feedback] Literal	for symbol with interpolation


Issue #8765 has been updated by duerst (Martin D��rst).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

Do you need this in an actual program? There is %q and %Q because there is '' and "", and that's because interpolation in Strings is very frequent. Interpolation for Symbols is very rare, as far as I know.

Feature #8765: Literal for symbol with interpolation

=begin
I propose a symbol literal `%S` with interpolation

    foo = 3
    %s{#{foo}} # => :"\#{foo}"
    %S{#{foo}} # => :"3"

The conventional `:""` literal looks as if it is a unary operator to a string. Since there are both `%q` and `%Q` literals for string, I don't see any reason why symbols only have `%s`.
