From: Pedro Silva Date: 2008-09-06T23:57:29+09:00 Subject: attr_*, *variables_* It wouldn't be nice if all these methods respect a unique arguments form. attr_* methods receive a symbol without the @ prefix, but *_variables_* methods receive @ prefixed symbols. Even class_variables or instance_variables return an array of strings, wouldn't be better if they return an array of symbols? I prefer the attr* notation, but what really matters is to have a unique invocation form. Does anyone think the same? Pedro. P.S - I've consulted http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/index.html for Ruby 1.9 core reference. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
