Feature #12241: super end

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

This is a refinement of [Feature #5054].

It required to count the depth of count to end, and tiresome.

This proposal will introduce "super end", !end, which ends the block began at the same column with !.

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5 
          p :small
!end

I think this should be end!, to look like a Ruby method name :-).

You almost got me with this one!

Also see the "endddd" suggestion. :)

Edit: Or perhaps "FINAL_END"

Since it conflicts with the existing syntax, and ruby-mode.el considers it an ordinary method call, autoindent doesn't work.

It isn't always "FINAL".

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5 
          p :small
    !end
    def another_method
      while foo do
        my_method
    !end
!end
