[ruby-core:65027] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10177] Hash#has_key? and Hash#has_value? should be deprecated

Issue #10177 has been updated by Tsuyoshi Sawada.


`has_key?` is one of the few exceptions to the naming convention in that it uses the third person singular present form of a verb. To keep the method names as general as possible, it is better to use the most general form of a verb and avoid third person singular present. In that respect, it is much better if `has_key?` is deprecated than `key?` is deprecated.

First Last, given hashes like the following, I don't understand how `has_key?` is better "in the interest of maximizing the English readability and sensibility" than `key?`.

    I = {name: "Yamada", gender: "male"}
    I.has_key?(:name)

    you = {name: "Tanaka", gender: "female"}
    you.has_key?(:gender)

    we = {location: "Tokyo", company: "Foo corporation"}
    we.has_key?(:location)

I referred to this Matz's remark.

And I agree with him, I supposed `Hash#has_key?` should be preferred over `Hash#key?`, 

so I replaced all of `Hash#has_key?` and `Hash#has_value?` in `lib/*` with `Hash#key?` and `Hash#value?`
