Those are not performance critical, so `Module::nesting[0]` is enough. You also don't want to provide a concrete example where it's a clear gain, OK, let's close then until there is a clear use case for it where `Module::nesting[0]` is not enough. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19644: Module::current to complement Module::nesting https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19644#change-103189 * Author: bughit (bug hit) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Module::current == Module::nesting[0] but without needlessly walking the entire nesting hierarchy.
