Issue #17473 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). I have merged https://github.com/ruby/pathname/pull/53, it is clearly better for the maintenance of the gem at least. Now we need to figure out if we want to keep the copy in core in sync with the gem or not (if not it's going to be a "fun" gotcha that the pathname gem is faster than core Pathname). ---------------------------------------- Feature #17473: Make Pathname to embedded class of Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17473#change-114061 * Author: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) * Status: Closed * Assignee: akr (Akira Tanaka) ---------------------------------------- pathname is one of most useful utility class of Ruby. I'm happy to use Pathname without require it. Any thought? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
