Ruby

=begin
Prior issue reminded me that I've been meaning to ask for this for a while, as I use is fairly often.

In pure Ruby the definition is essentially:

def alias_accessor(name, origin) alias_method "#{name}=", "#{origin}=" alias_method name, origin end 

Albeit pursuit to prior mentioned issue, I'd define it more like:

def alias_accessor(name, origin) writer_name = name.to_s.chomp('?') alias_method "#{writer_name}=", "#{origin}=" alias_method name, origin end 

=end
