Issue #16378 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). Interesting, I never saw the reply above from matz. Looking at my email I received one but it wasn't attached to the rest of the conversation for this issue for some reason. Great to hear it's now accepted. I think we should have it already in 2.7.2+. Many people clearly want it in #16891. @jeremyevans0 or @nobu Could you implement it on `master`? ---------------------------------------- Feature #16378: Support leading arguments together with ... https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16378#change-85852 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: 3.0 ---------------------------------------- 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:
