Re: Ruby 1.9 Binding#exec and introspection

Hi nobu,

Hmm, I see what you're saying about the binding being unknown at parse 
time. I think a Binding#exec method might still be possible but some 
extra work would be needed. Specifically the parser would have to 
generate a special dynamic type of binding object which would re-route 
the block's variables to the binding made available to it through #exec 
at runtime.

This is starting to sound like a non-trivial problem though, I'm not 
sure it's actually worth the effort since you can get most of the 
benefits with some additional interface methods. Plus it would be tricky 
making this behaviour consistent with the rest of the language...

I was thinking about what instance methods Binding might make available 
based on how Object treats instance variables. You'd probably need 
these:

Binding#variable_defined?
Binding#variable_get
Binding#variable_set
Binding#variables

I'm not sure if what I proposed earlier would be possible because the 
parser might not make a specific distinction here, but the same sort of 
methods might also be helpful for #local_variables and 
#global_variables.

On a side note. I would like to know how to take up this sort of 
discussion further with the developers of the language. Is there a 
formal proposal submission process that is still being used?

Also, how would I go about maybe submitting a patch if I was interested 
in delving into the source code my self to implement something like 
this?

Cheers
