From: "Jan E." Date: 2012-04-13T04:17:14+09:00 Subject: request for feature: nested methods should be private on nesting method Hi, This doesn't really make sense. The first part sounds like you request nested functions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function The second part sounds like you want methods to be objects and have their own methods. Nested functions can be achieved by using lambdas or procs. For the second part I'd simply use private methods. Sure, they cannot be restricted to a certain method. But that should never be a problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
