Issue #19370 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9330 ---------------------------------------- Feature #19370: Anonymous parameters for blocks? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19370#change-105833 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Just to clarify: are anonymous parameters delegation is planned to support in blocks? It would be a nice addition, if it is possible to implement: ```ruby # data in form [request method, URL, params]: [ [:get, 'https://google.com', {q: 'Ruby'}, {'User-Argent': 'Google-Chrome'}], [:post, 'https://gist.github.com', 'body'], # ... ].each { |method, *| request(method.to_s.upcase, *) } ``` ...and at the very least, consistent with what the method definition can have. If they are NOT planned to be implemented, I believe that at least error messages should be made much clearer, because currently, this would happen while running the code above:
no anonymous rest parameter (SyntaxError)
I understand the reason (the `request` clause doesn't "see" anonymous parameter of the **block**, and claims that current **method** doesn't have them), but it looks honestly confusing and inconsistent. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
