As originally suggested in http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/42418

Suggestion/feature request:
have #source_location also return the beginning column where it was defined.
["test.rb", 8, 33]

Thanks!

Would this effect Method#source_location too?

I'm not sure I am really digging this idea. First of all it means I have to go back and fix some code. Secondly it means I have to always worry about the additional piece of data even though most of the time it doesn't matter. And if the return can vary between 2 or 3 elements that's another thing to worry with.

On the other hand I can understand that it could be useful information in some cases.

In times like this that I think "Embrace the Object".

proc.source_location #=> #

And then a few different methods could provide that information in various useful forms.

proc.source_location.to_a #=> ["foo.rb", 12, 14]
proc.source_location.to_s #=> "foo.rb:12"
proc.source_location.values_at(:file, :line) #=> ["foo.rb", 12]

Or what have you.

BTW & OT: When is any one going to explain how we format code examples as monospace text on this site?

Click the RD button and use RD formatting (two spaces).

Here's a bash alias to help, which works for rdoc too.

alias rdindent='pr -l1 -o2'

Thanks Eric! I ((never)) noticed that ((%RD%)) "button" before (hardly looks like a button).

Why did it put:

=begin
=end

In the textarea when I clicked on it? ... maybe I'll find out by submitting this...

=begin
What's with the =begin =end?

Testing 1 2 3...

Try ((em)) (({code})) ((|ls|)) ((%var%)).
=end

Sorry for the noise.

[Thomas Sawyer]

Well, that failed miserably. LOL :-)
