I see where to put bugs and patches, but this is a feature request. Is this the right place to submit these? In any case, here's a feature request: I find that I do a lot of this: def initialize(thing, other) @thing = thing @other = other end One thing I'd love to see in a future version of ruby is this; def initialize(@thing, @other) end ... and have that automagically initialize @thing and @other with the submitted values. Thanks, David
