From: August Lilleaas Date: 2007-09-19T22:07:48+09:00 Subject: Dynamic detection of bang and question methods I got this idea of a sort of neat syntatic sugar of bang (foo!) and question (foo?) methods. Take a look at this pastie: http://pastie.caboo.se/98638 The idea is that you'll have two keywords added to Ruby - bang_given? and question_given?. Similar to block_given?. In this pastie, the method "finish" will not call save, as bang_given? isn't true. If you call "finish!", though, b ang_given will return true, and save will be called. Same thing with question_given?. Question given would be the least useful of them, though. And yes, doing def finish!; finish; save; is pretty easy, and this is not the sort of thing that should have max priority. It would still be a nice addition to the code-design useability of Ruby, though, as having 10 "def finish!; finish; save;"-ish methods is pretty boring. (And yes, looping and define_method, too, but still!) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
