Agree?
Well that name has been bandied about for other purposes http://www.google.com/search?q=hash_with Maybe options_with since I think Rails tends to call a trailing hash argument options, or looking ahead to ruby 1.9, keywords_with These still don't really feel exactly right to me though since they don't carry the connotation that other key/values are acceptable. Another alternatives, which trade off slightly less brevity for a bit more clarity, might be hash_including Personally, since most folks use capable editors, I'm less concerned with minimizing keystrokes, for example in textmate, a longer and clearer version can be had for the cost of an esc key or a snippet. <G> -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
