Feature #642
closed__DIR__
Description
=begin
There is an snippet of code found in many Ruby scripts, especially testing scripts. It is...
File.dirname(FILE)
For something so common --and something that can not, by its very nature, be put into a reusable method, it is annoying to have to repeatedly calculate the current scripts location. So I respectfully request that a future version of Ruby provide a built-in reference that can used instead:
DIR
This will improve readability, remove the need for extra variables to store this information, and at the very least, save us many a keystroke.

Yes. Of course. My apologies for overlooking it.
It there no way to change a bug into a feature, btw? Well, there's a
feature request for the Redmine folks.
Thanks,
