From: markus heiler Date: 2011-11-03T08:00:42+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:40686] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5555] rename #include? to #includes? Issue #5555 has been updated by markus heiler. I am neutral on it, not pro, not con. But I think a simple alias could suffice here? It is often a quite general question on english grammar too. For instance, on class String I was using #starts_with? rather than #start_with? But I think both should be equivalent. "foo".starts_with? 'f' # => true "foo".start_with? 'f' # => true ---------------------------------------- Feature #5555: rename #include? to #includes? http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5555 Author: Alexey Muranov Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Shouldn't the #include? method be renamed to #includes? ? I think this will be closer to correct English and consistent with #has_key? method (not #have_key?). -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
