Instance Method Details

#default!(default_symbol) ⇒ Object

This method applies String#default! method to the receiver converted to a string. Of course, symbols are immutable, so in spite of the exclamation mark in the method name, a new symbol (supplied as argument) is returned, if the original one is considered “defaulted” (otherwise, original symbol is returned unchanged).

#~@ ⇒ Object

Creates a RespondTo object from the receiver symbol. Intended use for this is nin case statements: RespondTo has customized #=== method, that calls #respond_to? to determine the return value.

For example, when ~:each in a case statement is valid only if the tested object respond_to?( :each ) returns true.
