From: Thomas Sawyer Date: 2011-11-17T07:41:02+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:41082] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5643][Open] require/load options and binding option Issue #5643 has been reported by Thomas Sawyer. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5643: require/load options and binding option http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5643 Author: Thomas Sawyer Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.0.0 Current Kernel#load is defined as: load(filename, wrap=false) I purpose that it be modified to work as option argument, e.g. load(filename, :wrap=>true) Right off the bat this has better name connascence. Then support an additional option `:binding`, such that, given: $ cat lib/example.rb def a 1 end then class X load('example.rb', :binding=>binding) end X.new.a #=> 1 The binding option should also work with #require (which would also support option parameter) differing from #load in the it would only allow the feature to be loaded once per-binding's self regardless of being required again. This ability would greatly benefit systems that need "plugin" capability. Presently, a great deal of coding has to go into simulating this functionality to create plugin systems, which are often imperfect nor robust. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
