Sometimes using emacs makes me think of Molly Bloom (never a good idea at work) and then I just answer yes even before the question is asked. Today this resulted in a confusing bug.
h.each{ |k,v|y
did not produce an error but rather caused my script to output a bunch of "---"'s.
I propose that Kernel.y should demand at least one argument
def y(o,*x)
puts( if x.empty?
YAML::dump( o )
else
YAML::dump_stream( o, *x )
end
)
end
_why what do you think?
maybe the convention that all one letter methods demand arguments might even be considered for inclusion in the ruby style guide.
