[ruby-core:47024] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6373] public #self

From: "citizen428 (Michael Kohl)" <citizen428@...>
Date: 2012-08-06 17:47:27 UTC
List: ruby-core #47024
Issue #6373 has been updated by citizen428 (Michael Kohl).


i also found a previous issue where this behavior would come in handy: http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/2172
----------------------------------------
Feature #6373: public #self
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6373#change-28682

=begin
This was recently suggested to me as an extension:

  class Object
    # An identity method that provides access to an object's 'self'.
    #
    # Example:
    #   [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,2,3].group_by(&:identity)
    #   #=> {1=>[1, 1], 2=>[2, 2, 2], 3=>[3, 3], 4=>[4], 5=>[5]}
    #
    def identity
      self
    end
  end

First, is such a method commonly useful enough to warrant existence?

Second, it makes me wonder if #self should be a public method in general.
