Subject: Re: A comparison by example of keyword argument styles

<quote author="Brian">
After speaking with Evan a little about his plans in more detail, he
discussed that he is considering using a new kind of object in place
of an Array for *. The new class (which I will call Arguments), would
still act like an array (* would still work for expansion into
delegated calls). However, one could now go:

def bar(*rest)
  rest.keywords
  ... etc ... # I am sure we could come up with a suitable interface.
end

This is the exact kind of thing I thing we should be looking for.

Ah, now that's a breath of fresh air. And very nice job of combining
new class with Array behavior for backward compatiblity. Intersting
approach. Please let us know how it proceeds.
