Feature #4276

Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes

Added by tbenst (Tyler Benster) about 13 years ago. Updated over 9 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
[ruby-core:34453]

Description

Current syntactic sugar allows this:

hash = {Alabama: "AL"}

This feature request is to also allow symbols delimited by quotes (and thus able to contain a whitespace) to use an equivalent syntactic sugar:

hash2 = {"Rhode Island": "RI"}
