Subject: [ruby-core:73512] [Ruby trunk - Bug #12027] [Rejected] Hash descendants are ignoring custom to_hash method

Issue #12027 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Description updated
Status changed from Open to Rejected

Because `b.is_a?(Hash)` already.
`to_hash` is the method to pretend to be a `Hash`.

Bug #12027: Hash descendants are ignoring custom to_hash method
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12027#change-56728

* Author: Victor Shepelev
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure it is not intended, but feels really strange:

~~~ruby
class A
  def to_hash
    {foo: 'bar'}
  end
end

class B < Hash
  def to_hash
    {foo: 'bar'}
  end
end

a = A.new
b = B.new

p({**a}) # => {foo: 'bar'}
p({**b}) # => {} -- ooops. Seems "internal" hash state is used
# therefore:
b['test'] = 1
p({**b}) # => wrong argument type String (expected Symbol) (TypeError)
~~~

What am I missing here?
