It's my understanding that a lot of people feel that way, might be worth deprecating because I'd be uncertain as to how many C extensions use this. I know ruby std-lib has it in curses, iconv, raddrinfo, stringio, tcltklib, and win32ole. The core has it in marshal, transcode, and error. I don't currently understand the functionality behind TypedData_Make_Struct and Data_Wrap_Struct so I'm not sure how these libraries would be affected.

ruby -v: 2.0.0


This class is confusing without knowing where to lookup information. I've attached a patch that points developers to README.ext

I'm assigning this to zzak, hopefully if this is the wrong person to assign it to he can assign it to someone else.
