Subject: [ruby-core:93653] [Ruby master Bug#10463] :~@ and :!@ are not	parsed correctly

Issue #10463 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler).


Interesting - I did not know this. sawa finds stuff. :)

Personally I would be in favour of changing the behaviour as Jeremy described (I also think this
may be a bug or perhaps an oddity), but I guess it depends on a) whether matz wants to change it
in the first place and b) then when to change it, if a) evaluates to a change.

A secondary consideration may be to query how many ruby users depend on this backwards behaviour.

I have no statistical dataset to make a statement either way, but from intuition, I would venture
that this change would not affect a lot of ruby code out there; I could be wrong though.
