What do you prefer about the above, versus the existing (and, IMO,
slightly prettier):
class A
private; def meth1( arg1, arg2=:foo )
'private'
end
protected; def meth2( arg1, arg2='bar' )
'protected'
end
public; def meth2( arg1, arg2 )
'public'
end
end
With your technique, you cannot declare default values for arguments,
correct? (At least, not in blocks in 1.8)
And while the above syntax that I wrote is close to yours, I further
personally prefer using the public/protected/private items as they
were intended, to denote blocks of methods in my class which are
each, visually grouping like-scoped methods.
class A
def public1; ...; end
def public2; ...; end
protected
def protected1; ...; end
def protected2; ...; end
private
def private1; ...; end
def private2; ...; end
end
That simply makes more sense, to me personally.
