Since keyword arg assignment is already DRY with omitting of argument of the same name, what about DRYing out an instance var assignment? Something like this, with "@" for example, since it's already used to assign instance vars / memoize

def initialize(payload)
  @payload = payload
end

def abc(d)
  @d = d
end

# to be have a short from of

def initialize(@payload)
end

def abc(@d)
end
