Just a note: last evening at RubyKaigi 2014, talked to matz about this issue, and got his approval to introduce this to see if anyone rants. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4276: Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4276#change-48993 * Author: Tyler Benster * Status: Closed * Priority: Low * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto * Category: core * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- Current syntactic sugar allows this: hash = {Alabama: "AL"} This feature request is to also allow symbols delimited by quotes (and thus able to contain a whitespace) to use an equivalent syntactic sugar: hash2 = {"Rhode Island": "RI"} -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
