From: Trans Date: 2005-11-24T03:47:25+09:00 Subject: alias_method, return new name instead of class Might be nice is #alias_method returned the new method name so that one could do: private alias_method( :foo, :bar ) b/c private alias_method :foo, :bar doesn't work. Right now it appears to return the class/module involved. Just a thought, T.
