But sometimes the code using ServiceAccount may be far from definition, and hard to read/understand what does an element represent. I want to use keyword arguments to instantiate struct objects in such case. it's far easier to understand rather than arguments without keywords: ```ruby a = ServiceAccount.new( account_name: "tagomoris", full_name: "satoshi tagomori", nickname: "satoshi", name_invited_by: "satoru", twitter_account_name: "@tagomoris", ) ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
