From: matz@... Date: 2019-11-28T04:56:07+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:96007] [Ruby master Feature#16378] Support leading arguments together with ... Issue #16378 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). Status changed from Open to Rejected I know trailing `...` can be very useful from C experience. But the primary purpose of Ruby `...` is method delegation. We are not going to extend the role of `...` in the language (at least for now). Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16378: Support leading arguments together with ... https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16378#change-82845 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: 2.7 ---------------------------------------- I think this is very important, otherwise `...` can be used only very rarely. For instance, `method_missing` typically want to access the method name like: ```ruby def method_missing(name, ...) if name.to_s.end_with?('?') self[name] else fallback(name, ...) end end ``` See the original feature: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16253#note-19. I think most people expect `def method_missing(name, ...)` to work. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
