It looks like this feature has been realized by https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/git/revisions/3a3f48fb8fbdbb810d9b675159529970015316b9 If I am correct, please close this feature, and thanks, nobu-san. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7639: More freedom for location of comments https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7639#change-81559 * Author: sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: Next Major ---------------------------------------- =begin When we chain methods with the period at the end of each line, we can put comments in between the lines: [1, 2, 3]. # First, we do blah blah method1. # Second, we do blah blah method2. =begin Third, the following line does this and that ... =end method3 but when we have the period at the beginning of the line, putting comments in similar positions returns an error: [1, 2, 3] # First, we do blah blah .method1 # Second, we do blah blah .method2 =begin Third, the following line does this and that ... =end .method3 # => Error It is confusing that putting comments between lines in a method chain is sometimes allowed and sometimes not. I think it would be convenient if comments are allowed in these positions even when the following line starts with a period, and I request this as a feature. Currently, it returns an error, which means that, if such syntax were allowed, there would be no conflict with the existing syntax. Furthermore, putting the period at the beginning of a line is suited for method chains because the period will visually work as bullets, and it makes more sense to have comments right before those lines. =end -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
