Subject: [ruby-core:66718] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10571] Keyword arguments	with local variable

Issue #10571 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.


`var` is a local variable in the class scope, which cannot be accessed from the method. a method has independent scope.

Feature #10571: Keyword arguments with local variable

It's kind of curiosity. As far as I searched, I couldn't get sensible reason.
Please give me information if you have free time.

```ruby
class MyClass
  var = 'test'
  def my_method(kwd_var: var)
    p kwd_var
  end
end

MyClass.new.my_method
#=> NameError: undefined local variable or method `var' for #<MyClass:0x007f91520a15c8>
```

I've expected above code is same as below code.

```ruby
class MyClass
  def my_method(kwd_var: 'test')
    p kwd_var
  end
end

MyClass.new.my_method
#=> "test"
```

Take your time. Thanks.
