Feature #7906

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) almost 12 years ago

=begin 
 I noticed that "(({->word}))" "->word" doesn't mean anything. i.e. 

   >> ->foo 
   SyntaxError: (irb):4: syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting keyword_do_LAMBDA or tLAMBEG 
        from /opt/Ruby/1.9.3-p327/bin/irb:12:in `<main>' 

 If that is always so, then could it be given a meaning as a shorthand for (({method()}))? method()? i.e. 

   ->foo 

 would be the same as writing 

   method(:foo).to_proc 

 =end
