this one is short, so i’m inlining it here:
having to include ‘socket’ only to do ‘Socket.gethostname’ definitely is not
in line with POLS - IMHO
i understand why (not the lucky one) #gethostname should be part of the
Socket module, but i think
host = hostname # Kernel.hostname
would be a nice addition to ruby.
