Subject: [ruby-core:62595] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6074] Allow alias	arguments to have a comma

Issue #6074 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer.


Special cases always make me cringe. Why is alias a special case anyway? It seems very odd since alias_method is a method and does the same thing.

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?
