CC.new.process # C#process expects C#util,
# but calls CC#util
Why is this a problem? Isn't it what people expect in OO? I'm not an OO= =20
expert, but isn't this one of the supposedly unique feature/benefit of OO= :=20
allowing old code to call new code. I believe it's called polymorphism?
Now Ruby2 wants to change so that 'util' in C method calls C#util and=20
'self.util' calls CC#util. I very much prefer 'self.util' to be the one t= hat=20
calls C#util (and I don't think I'll ever use it a lot). The latter is=20
backwards compatible and how virtually all other languages behave.
I want neither util() nor self.util() to call C's util directly, and if=20
either change passes, then I *will* reconsider my five-year relationship=20
with Ruby. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of code that this=20
change would break anyway, so I can't imagine Matz making that change=20
either.
