Backport #1183: Adding support for the new hash literal syntax

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: knu (Akinori MUSHA)

=begin
Attached is a patch for ruby_1_8 which adds support for the new literal syntax for hash and hash style arguments.

However, there needs some more work to retain the use of colon in place of then/do, in order to keep backward compatibility, although it has been deprecated and dropped in 1.9.

knu@daemon[1]% ruby-1.8.7 -ve 'if true: p(1); end'

No such syntax has been defined officially.
No backward compatibility issue.

What do you mean here in "official"? because AFAIK there has been no single
line of official syntax definitions so far.

Matz's book and official tutorial[1] mention about "then" but
not ":". Is there any description about such colons?

At least O'Reilly's "Programming Language Ruby" has a detailed description
about it. One of a Matz's book no wonder.
