Subject: [ruby-core:62474] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6074] [Rejected] Allow alias arguments to have a comma

Issue #6074 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected

As Akinori stated, alias is special to be special.

In your case, forget alias and always use alias_method.

Feature #6074: Allow alias arguments to have a comma

----------------------------------------
This is one my biggest pet peeves with Ruby. I am always typing:

~~~ruby
alias :foo, :bar
~~~

And getting a damn syntax error.

Btw, is there a reason why `alias` is a keyword and not a method?
