Subject: [ruby-core:64350] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10130] String format with	nested hash

Issue #10130 has been updated by Andrew Vit.


I would have expected [] for hash syntax in the string template:

~~~
"Author: %{author[:name]} (%{author[:affiliation]}), %{date}"
~~~

For it to work with dots seems inconsistent, unless the hash value responds to those methods.

Feature #10130: String format with nested hash

----------------------------------------
When we do string format with hashes, we have the restriction that the hash cannot be a nested one. When we want to handle more complicated string formats, for example in templates, it is more convenient if we can use a nested hash.

    "Author: %{author.name} (%{author.affiliation}), %{date}" % {author: {name: "Ruby Taro", affiliation: "Ruby co."}, date: "2014, 8, 14"}
    #=> "Author: Ruby Taro (Ruby co.), 2014, 8, 14"
