Bug #15987
Updated by sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada) almost 5 years ago
Some boolean options (such as the The `exception` option in `Kernel#Complex`, `Kernel#Float`, `Kernel#Integer`, and `Kernel#Rational`) distinguish `Kernel#Rational` distinguishes `false` vs. other values. But in most other cases where a boolean notion is concerned (for example, the `chomp` option in `Kernel#gets`), the distinction is between falsy vs. truthy values. I request the distinction to be falsy vs. truthy. truthy for the `exception` option in `Kernel#Complex`, `Kernel#Float`, `Kernel#Integer`, `Kernel#Rational`. In other words, I would like the value `nil` to work on the falsy side rather than the truthy side. I listed some such options here, but perhaps there are other options that I missed. I would like the request to be applied for those options too. suppress exception.
