GuessMethod 0.0.5

GuessMethod, the aggressive spell checker for irb, can now be turned off!

Every once in a while, GuessMethod will get in the way. I’m trying to fix that, but in the meantime, you can just set GuessMethod::Options[:active] = false if you need it to leave everything alone for a little while. Just set it back to true when you want it back. This is handy for people (like me, now) who have require 'guessmethod' in their .irbrc (or config/environments/development.rb for Railsers).

And GuessMethod now includes/extends itself in Object when you require it. That happened in 0.0.4.

It’s been interesting to use GuessMethod regularly (especially considering I deemed it a bad idea). Sometimes I see it trying to handle calls I had no idea were being handled by an object’s method_missing.

Give it a shot if you haven’t already:

sudo gem install guessmethod
