From: Wiebe Cazemier Date: 2006-04-13T21:41:49+09:00 Subject: Question mark in attr_* Hi, Methods which return booleans end with a question mark, by convention. But how about boolean attributes (attr_[reader, accessor, writer])? Saying "attr_reader :variable?" won't work. I find it rather strange when you have to access boolean attributes without the question mark, but the methods with the question mark.
