Ruby: Automatically set instance variable as method argument?

Question

Are there any plans to implement ruby behavior similar to the CoffeeScript feature of specifying an instance variable name in a method argument list? Like

cl         


        

Answer 1

Well, actually...

class User
  define_method(:initialize) { |@name| }
end

User.new(:name).instance_variable_get :@name
# => :name

Works in 1.8.7, but not in 1.9.3. Now, just where did I learn about this...
