Subject: [ruby-core:82973] [Ruby trunk Feature#13551][Rejected] Add a method to alias class methods

Issue #13551 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Feedback to Rejected

As Martin-sensei pointed out, use singleton class notation.

  class Foo
    class <<Foo
      def foo; end
      alias bar foo
    end
  end

I don't think it's worth adding a new method to avoid this simple thing.

Matz.

Feature #13551: Add a method to alias class methods

----------------------------------------
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
~~~
