All,
I've attached a patch for the documentation for Struct::new.
The second edition of The Pickaxe Book says:
> Ruby 1.9 and later allow you to pass a block to a Struct's constructor.
> This block is evaluated in the context of the new struct's class and hence
> allows you conveniently to add instance methods to the new struct.
It turns out that this functionality has actually been present since 1.8.3!
This is the relevant ChangeLog entry:
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/struct.c?view=log#rev5934
(although it references [ruby-talk:02606], it should really be
[ruby-core:02606]:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/2606
I've tried to stick to the submission guidelines, but please let me know if
I've screwed anything up!
Cheers,
