Issue #7019 has been updated by alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov).


=begin
Here is a usecase i have made up.  The following does not work now:

  class C
    def f
      def g
        #
      end
      private
      def h
        #
      end
    end
  end

  c = C.new
  c.f  # => NameError: undefined local variable or method `private' for ...

So a block syntax could make sense here:

  class C
    def f
      def g
        #
      end
      privately do
        def h
          #
        end
      end
    end
  end
=end

Feature #7019: allow `private` and `protected` keywords to take blocks

=begin
I like to indent my private methods one level deeper, but this indentation is inconsistent with the syntax:

 class C
   def f
     #
   end
   private
     def g
     #
     end
 end

I think it would be nice if the (({private})) keyword could take a block, then i would write:

 class C
   def f
     #
   end
   private do
     def g
     #
     end
   end 
 end
=end
