Subject: [ruby-talk:25586] Dir.chdir

Hi,
I'm just wondering if there might be any call for Dir.chdir to be able
to take a block which would then be processed with the working dir set
to the dir changed to, so that instead of writing something like

   old_dir=Dir.pwd
   Dir.chdir(new_dir)
   #some code
   Dir.chdir(old_dir)

one might write

   Dir.chdir(new_dir){ #some code }

with the working directory changed only within the block.

a small point, but maybe one which might lead to more readable code.

regards

Steve
