Issue #20441 has been updated by ozydingo (Andrew Schwartz). Understanding better the role of `ruby2_keywords` is helping, thank you. It seemed to me that either way some compatibility was broken, but the subtleties of maintaining compatibility as well as possible in a variety of circumstances is indeed tricky. I appreciate your time explaining it further here. ---------------------------------------- Misc #20441: Should passing keyword args to method_name(*) be an error? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20441#change-108043 * Author: ozydingo (Andrew Schwartz) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- In the following method: ```rb def foo(*) super end ``` it is apparently the intended ruby 3 behavior to pass keyword args as a positional Hash to `super`. I believe this is confusing and can lead to hidden and hard-to-discover bugs (e.g. #20440). Since `*` is meant to only represent positional args, should it be an ArgumentError to pass keyword args at all to this method? Similar to how it is an error to pass positions args to `bar(**)`. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
