08:09 PM Ruby Bug #14429 (Closed): Overzealous escaping of + in Shellwords

The `Shellwords` module is currently a little too conservative: `+` isn't a token in Bourne sh[1], but `Shellwords` escapes it anyways.
Actual:
~~~ ruby
>> Shellwords.escape 'foo+bar' #=> "foo\\+bar"
~~~
Expected:
~~~ ruby

"key" => "value",
* => proc { |h, k| h[k] = "other value" },
}... woodruffw (William Woodruff)

01:46 AM Ruby Feature #13122 (Rejected): Special syntax for Hash#default_proc

The current Hash#default_proc flow usually looks something like this:
~~~ ruby
my_hash = { key: "value" }
my_hash.default_proc = proc { |h, k| h[k] = "other value" }
~~~
This makes the common practice of freezing large constant ... woodruffw (William Woodruff)
