This issue is about aliasing class methods, and aliasing a method in a builtin class would be a problem whether it's done with a new feature or with the way I showed. So the fact that I used Array is confusing, but orthogonal to the issue at hand. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13551: Add a method to alias class methods https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13551#change-66890 * Author: JustJosh (Joshua Stowers) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- 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 ~~~ -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
