61497 [ksaito uranu] Here is a summary of ruby-dev ML from the end of December

| | 61574 [matz ruby-la] Nobu already made a patch to implement it. I feel like it can make

| | | 61581 [matz ruby-la] I don't forget there's one feel like that. Thank you.
| | | 61586 [botp delmont] Can we not include feature of perl6 also?
| | + 61579 [hal9000 hype] If you're not used to it, even <<-FOO is cryptic.
| | + 61601 [matt lickey.] I just though, why not "<<|FOO". In other words, the '-' in there
| | + 61602 [gsinclair so] To me, the '-' means the same that it always does: it allows the

| | + 61608 [dblack candl] That's the first variation on this idea that doesn't look cluttered
| | | 61648 [hal9000 hype] I agree. I like this particular mutation.
| | + 61609 [vjoel PATH.B] Of course, then you lose being able to use FOO in an expression

| | 61615 [chadfowler c] As much as I hate to send a "me too" message: me too. :)
| + 61580 [transami tra] it has one simple good reason for use: it allows good form indentation of code
+ 61512 [transami tra] i have been wanting this myself. GOOD IDEA! i wonder if the - is neccessary?
| + 61513 [transami tra] p <<-EOS
| | 61516 [transami tra] DUH!!!!! SCRATCH THAT. THAT'S p AS IN PRINT. SORRY. SILLY << CONFUSED ME.
| + 61665 [transami tra] as you can see, i'm right with Dave on this. another vote +1.
| + 61669 [gsinclair so] I think I might start using that more often. It's nice, and it's
| | + 61671 [vjoel PATH.B] str = %{\
| | | 61672 [transami tra] str = %Q{first line
| | + 61675 [transami tra] very cool Gavin, unfortunately i can't use that since i have all my tabs
| | | 61677 [dim colebatc] (untested)
| | | 61679 [vjoel PATH.B] It is the spaces version, just with a bad name. I use spaces to emulate

| | + 61680 [nobu.nokada ] One more difference. tabto strips after string interpolcation,
| | 61682 [botp delmont] sir Nobu. Is this working on your _own_ Ruby version/patch?
| | 61695 [nobu.nokada ] Yes.
| | 61707 [dave pragpro] For what it's worth, I don't like this much either. But I still think
| | 61722 [nobu.nokada ] It looks nice, and once I got inclined to it. But now we have
| | 61731 [batsman.geo ] s = <<|Hello
| | + 61733 [nobu.nokada ] We can, but it'll enforce to remember magical relation, whereas
| | | + 61736 [batsman.geo ] Then we need a new syntax... I don't quite like the following but it's
| | | + 61737 [hal9000 hype] OK, I suggest an adaptation of the ordinary
| | | 61740 [batsman.geo ] s = <<'EOF'
| | | 61754 [transami tra] then i suggest this: let us LET HERE DOCUMENTS BE. they are an adoption (from

| | + 61735 [eric.schwart] Ick. I much prefer Perl's version, where

| 61777 [jweirich one] Well, only of the {}'s are unbalanced. For Example ...
| 61780 [botp delmont] sorry. Yes, I only meant implementation.
| + 61782 [nobu.nokada ] Sorry, what do you mean by `override quote'?
| | 61786 [botp delmont] Pls forget it. I got lost. My mind mixed up %Q and here-docs.
| + 61821 [hgs dmu.ac.u] OK, what about this suggestion in the OO spirit of Ruby?
| 61844 [transami tra] Hugh,
| 61852 [hgs dmu.ac.u] No, it doesn't get there, agreed....
| 61995 [transami tra] so the set-margin here document thread seesm to be dying out, which is too
| 62018 [nobu.nokada ] It isn't better to use another charater? For example,
| 62020 [transami tra] works for me! what's L stand for? Literal? Line? well, any character is fine
| 62024 [nobu.nokada ] Line. All %-notations are literals, no?
+ 61551 [gsinclair so] Well, if he wants comments from *all* Rubyists, ... that's a lot of
