Issue #4085 has been updated by enebo (Thomas Enebo).
Could someone make a summary of the current proposed refinements feature in the next couple of days once the churn of corner cases slows down a bit? I have been reading through this and I have three observations:
1. It takes a long time to read through the thread now and the feature itself changes the lower you go down this issue.
2. Because the feature is changing I see people perhaps making comments which may or may not apply anymore to the reduced-scope version of refinements.
3. This much mutation makes me worry this revised feature won't have enough intellectual bake time to make it into a February/March release.
I would love to see this restated with the corner cases covered based on Matz's last reduced scope statement. Especially in regards to special methods (meta-programming, respond_to?...) and super in particular.
Could a wiki with an official editor (like shugo) help? Then all new users could see the entirety of the current feature without needing to read what is becoming a massive thread.

Feature #4085: Refinements and nested methods
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4085#change-34244

As I said at RubyConf 2010, I'd like to propose a new features called
"Refinements."
Refinements are similar to Classboxes. However, Refinements doesn't
support local rebinding as mentioned later. In this sense,
Refinements might be more similar to selector namespaces, but I'm not
sure because I have never seen any implementation of selector
namespaces.
In Refinements, a Ruby module is used as a namespace (or classbox) for
class extensions. Such class extensions are called refinements. For
example, the following module refines Fixnum.
module MathN
refine Fixnum do
def /(other) quo(other) end
end
end
Module#refine(klass) takes one argument, which is a class to be
extended. Module#refine also takes a block, where additional or
overriding methods of klass can be defined. In this example, MathN
refines Fixnum so that 1 / 2 returns a rational number (1/2) instead
of an integer 0.
This refinement can be enabled by the method using.
class Foo
using MathN
def foo
p 1 / 2
end
end
f = Foo.new
f.foo #=> (1/2)
p 1 / 2
In this example, the refinement in MathN is enabled in the definition
of Foo. The effective scope of the refinement is the innermost class,
module, or method where using is called; however the refinement is not
enabled before the call of using. If there is no such class, module,
or method, then the effective scope is the file where using is called.
Note that refinements are pseudo-lexically scoped. For example,
foo.baz prints not "FooExt#bar" but "Foo#bar" in the following code:
class Foo
def bar
puts "Foo#bar"
end
def baz
bar
end
end
module FooExt
refine Foo do
def bar
puts "FooExt#bar"
end
end
end
module Quux
using FooExt
foo = Foo.new
foo.bar # => FooExt#bar
foo.baz # => Foo#bar
end
Refinements are also enabled in reopened definitions of classes using
refinements and definitions of their subclasses, so they are
*pseudo*-lexically scoped.
class Foo
using MathN
end
class Foo
# MathN is enabled in a reopened definition.
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
class Bar < Foo
# MathN is enabled in a subclass definition.
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
If a module or class is using refinements, they are enabled in
module_eval, class_eval, and instance_eval if the receiver is the
class or module, or an instance of the class.
module A
using MathN
end
class B
using MathN
end
MathN.module_eval do
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
A.module_eval do
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
B.class_eval do
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
B.new.instance_eval do
p 1 / 2 #=> (1/2)
end
Besides refinements, I'd like to propose new behavior of nested methods.
Currently, the scope of a nested method is not closed in the outer method.
def foo
def bar
puts "bar"
end
bar
end
foo #=> bar
bar #=> bar
In Ruby, there are no functions, but only methods. So there are no
right places where nested methods are defined. However, if
refinements are introduced, a refinement enabled only in the outer
method would be the right place. For example, the above code is
almost equivalent to the following code:
def foo
klass = self.class
m = Module.new {
refine klass do
def bar
puts "bar"
end
end
}
using m
bar
end
foo #=> bar
bar #=> NoMethodError
The attached patch is based on SVN trunk r29837.
