sqlite is not ruby, so you should look for a sqlite group ;)

Not sure if you've ever worked on large classes in large Ruby/Rails
projects (unless you want to count "possible code smell" as an argument
against this, putting that aside for a moment) but if a "protected" or
"private" block is fairly large, it gets difficult to see what's going on
without doing "private :method_just_defined_on_previous_line" dozens of
times (which to me is a different kind of smell, but some consider it a
valid style).

Since a symbol is already created when a method is defined, and we are
dealing with a functional language (or one with functional aspects), I just
think it would be useful for a def to return something other than "nil",
and it would nicely dovetail with the fact that "protected" and "private"
can take symbol arguments. There are no extra costs involved.

Your anecdotal experience does not count as evidence towards utility.

added:

No, actually that only works for the case of 2 methods, one protected and
one private. If you have 10 protected methods and 10 private methods, the
situation quickly becomes more complicated.
