What do you prefer about the above, versus the existing (and, IMO, =20
slightly prettier):

class A
     private; def meth1( arg1, arg2=3D:foo )
         'private'
     end

     protected; def meth2( arg1, arg2=3D'bar' )
         'protected'
     end

     public; def meth2( arg1, arg2 )
         'public'
     end
end

With your technique, you cannot declare default values for arguments, =20=

correct? (At least, not in blocks in 1.8)

And while the above syntax that I wrote is close to yours, I further =20
personally prefer using the public/protected/private items as they =20
were intended, to denote blocks of methods in my class which are =20
each, visually grouping like-scoped methods.


class A
     def public1; ...; end
     def public2; ...; end

     protected
         def protected1; ...; end
         def protected2; ...; end

     private
         def private1; ...; end
         def private2; ...; end
end


That simply makes more sense, to me personally.
