Forum: Ruby-core Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes

Issue #4276 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


One of the reason I didn't introduce this was, a few bundled scripts had 
compatibility issue when once I tried.

Feature #4276: Allow use of quotes in symbol syntactic sugar for hashes

 Current syntactic sugar allows this:
 hash = {Alabama: "AL"}

 This feature request is to also allow symbols delimited by quotes (and 
thus able to contain a whitespace) to use an equivalent syntactic sugar:
 hash2 = {"Rhode Island": "RI"}
