Feature #19591
Updated by palkan (Vladimir Dementyev) over 2 years ago
This feature is a follow-up for MatchData#deconstruct_keys (see https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6216).
Example:
```ruby
m = /(?<a>.)(?<a>.)/.match("01") # => #<MatchData "01" a:"0" a:"1">
m.named_captures #=> {"a" => "1"}
m.named_captures(symbolize_names: m.named_captures(symbolize_keys: true) #=> {:a => "1"}
```
The underlying (C) functionality has been already implemented. The proposal is to expose it via the optional `symbolize_keys: true | false` keyword argument.
