Feature #10797: `inherit` parameter for `..._defined?` methods in Module

• Status: Closed

Module#const_defined? takes an optional argument inherit with default value true to control whether to consider inheritance. But the following methods do not:

• Module#method_defined?
• Module#private_method_defined?
• Module#protected_method_defined?
• Module#public_method_defined?

They only allow what would correspond to inherit = true. I request an optional argument inherit with default value true to be added to these methods to control whether inheritance should be considered.

This proposal was adopted in Ruby 2.6 (and is mentioned in the context of #14944, which is actually a duplicate of the current issue). Please close this issue.
