Matz slide says: {a: 45, b: 55, c: 65} same as {:a => 45, :b => 55 :c => 65} Will it be possible to leave out spaces, so that {a:45, b:55, c:65} are possible ? Leaving out comma, will it be possible? like this: {a:45 b:55 c:65} What happens if no value are specified ? nil? For instance 'verbose:' has no value copy source:"file.in" dest:"file.out" verbose: -- Simon Strandgaard
