I have a better idea: how about you do whatever you want to do with your API? I don't need to prove to you that this is troublesome because I don't care what the API for open-uri looks like. I was providing advice based on my experience, and if you choose to ignore the advice, it doesn't affect me. It'll affect your users, and it'll affect *you*. Its your API, and seeing as I don't use the library, I don't have a vested interest in how it looks. The real problem with APIs for libraries is that once you define them, they're very, very painful to change. If you decide in the future, like I did with REXML, that hashes were the wrong decision, too bad. The only option is to keep them (legacy code... auugh!) or break all of the applications that use your library. The second option really is a last resort. This is the *only* reason why REXML still has hash parameters in its API. Note that this applies not only to issues like hashmap parameters, but to any other API decision. There are a few API decisions that I regret about REXML. I think its an occupational hazard when authoring libraries. > > The problem is in handling polymorphic methods.

I wasn't talking about open-uri. The subject was that having neither polymorphic methods or named variables in Ruby leads to problematic method implementations. This is a language issue, not an library issue, and it'll be addressed in Ruby 2 (hurrah!). Ruby isn't the only language that has this issue; many loosely typed languages have the same hurdle, since polymorphism is often based on argument type. --- SER
