Subject: [ruby-core:57333] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8938] it keyword


Issue #8938 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter).


There are two others.

The oldest is here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4475

The most active is here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4830

I believe the primary objections are that it would require "it" to be a keyword (or at least a really special word) and it may interfere with a user using "it" as a variable or method name.

I'm not a fan of magic globals, either, and even though it doesn't start with $ this feels like the same sort of thing.
