Subject: [ruby-core:58122] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9070] Introduce `---` as	synonym of `end` keyword


Issue #9070 has been updated by sikachu (Prem Sichanugrist).


It does look ugly. I don't think that really makes the code better.

Also, I think if you leave a space after each method, then `end` really works fine here.

This is just an idea: introduce "(({---}))" as synonym of "(({end}))" keyword.

It is a bit easier to type and to read, and makes whitespace insensitive language look as if it follows off-side rule.  Compare:

  class Person
    attr_reader :name, :age
    def initialize(name, age)
      @name, @age = name, age
    ---
    def <=>(person) # the comparison operator for sorting
      age <=> person.age
    ---
    def to_s
      "#{name} (#{age})"
    ---
  ---

  class Person
    attr_reader :name, :age
    def initialize(name, age)
      @name, @age = name, age
    end
    def <=>(person) # the comparison operator for sorting
      age <=> person.age
    end
    def to_s
      "#{name} (#{age})"
    end
  end

=end
