Feature #11758
closedAdd keyword assignment syntax
Description
I think keyword assignments would be a useful addition, especially since the introduction of keyword arguments
The basic example would be, and is expected to work like required keyword arguments:
a:, b: = {a: 1, b: 2}
A useful use case is returning keywords instead of multiple values making the values position independent:
def foo
return a: 1, b: 2
end
a:, b: = foo
puts a # => 1
puts b # => 2

I keep trying to do this, too, and being surprised when it doesn't work.
