Description

When not using custom made exceptions, I find myself using TypeError, NameError and ArgumentError the most. ArgumentError is the longest and I would like to suggest to alias it officially as ArgError.

History

This just saves 5 characters, but creates confusion because now many people will start to wonder what the difference is between ArgumentError and ArgError, if any.

#2 [ruby-core:56321] Updated by Anonymous about 4 years ago

Yes, but one of those characters is 'm'!

Anything in particular that's problematic about 'm'? I have tentatively classified that as a joke, but can switch it back if needed.
