Subject: [ruby-core:66705] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4276] Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes

Issue #4276 has been updated by ��tienne Barri��.


Hi, any reason it doesn't work with inner hashes?

```
{ foo: {} } # => {:foo=>{}}
{ 'foo': {} }
# SyntaxError: (irb):2: syntax error, unexpected '{'
```


----------------------------------------
Feature #4276: Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4276#change-50305

* 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"}
