Description

Is there a reason why Dir.entries requires one argument?

I think it would be easier and more convenient for the userruby if it would default to the current directory. Like so:

Dir.entries(i = Dir.pwd)

Or is there a reason why this is not done?

As a language with concurrency, I don't think depending on the current directory implicitly is a good idea.
