This is inconsistent with `Kernel.puts` and it feels weird, because it does not act like a regular Ruby method would (if it was written in Ruby instead of C, it would probably be defined like `def warn(msg = nil)` and calling it with or without nil as argument would make no difference) ### Expected behavior: ``` irb(main):001:0> warn nil => nil irb(main):002:0> warn => nil ``` ### Actual behavior: ``` irb(main):001:0> warn nil => nil irb(main):002:0> warn => nil ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
