Subject: [ruby-core:85920] [Ruby trunk Feature#4824] Provide method	Kernel#executed?

Issue #4824 has been updated by dsferreira (Daniel Ferreira).


Why not:

```ruby
Kernel#executable?
# => true if FILE == $0
```

meaning: Is the file good to be executed?



----------------------------------------
Feature #4824: Provide method Kernel#executed?

----------------------------------------
The current construct to execute main code looks not very elegant:

~~~ruby
if __FILE__ == $0
  my_main()          # call any method or execute any code
end
~~~

With a `Kernel#executed?` method, this would become more elegant:

~~~ruby
if executed?
  #do this
  #do that
  my_main()
end
~~~

or

~~~ruby
main() if executed?
~~~

This addition would not break any existent behaviour.
