Feature #10214

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 9 years ago

currently i often use Symbols as enums in my bindings,  
 have something like this with comparing symbols by their ID 

 ~~~C ~~~ 
 if(SYMBOL_P(sym)) 
 { 
   if(rb_intern("name") == SYM2ID(sym)) 
     return ENUM_NAME; 
 } 
 ~~~ 

 now with dynamic symbols and other ones, its problematic because with that i always foce a dynamic symbol to become static or pinned (that what SYM2ID does) 

 so imo there need to be better ways to compare comare is an ID and a VALUE-sym or two VALUE-syms and check if they have the same content (hm because comparing two VALUE with == might/does not work)
