Subject: [ruby-core:49734] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4772][Rejected] Hash#add_keys


Issue #4772 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected

As far as I understand, the OP intention was to generate key/default-value pair explicitly.
But I don't see any real world use case. The value will be generated anyway.
If he wants to cache the value, the name #add_keys does not describe the intention.

So I mark this "rejected". If OP (or somebody else) come up with real use case, please re-open.

Matz.

Hi, do you want to add a new method Hash#add_keys in a new version?

hash = Hash.new {|h,k| k.to_s + "foo" }
hash.add_keys("a","b","c") # the value is hash's default obj or proc value

If there's a word list file, I want to make the words keys of a hash, maybe I can write:

hash = {}
hash.add_keys(*open("file").readlines.map(&:chomp))
