Subject: [ruby-core:81058] [Ruby trunk Feature#13551] Add a method to alias	class methods

Issue #13551 has been updated by phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin).


Do you mean singleton methods?

Something like this would work:

~~~ruby
module Kernel
  def alias_singleton_method new_name, old_name
    define_singleton_method(new_name) { old_name }
  end
end
~~~

~~~ruby
class Foo
  def self.bar
    :bar
  end

  alias_singleton_method :baz, :bar
end

Foo.bar  #=> :bar
Foo.baz  #=> :bar
~~~

There doesn't seem to be an intuitive way to alias class methods.

Perhaps we can add a method such as 

~~~ ruby
alias_class_method :new_name, :old_name
~~~
