Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing commit 9174022 and locating the manual options-key checks across the client; determine the Ruby version support policy and the scope of any keyword-argument changes. Done means the compatibility decision is implemented consistently and the existing test suite still passes.

Description

new feature question

Ruby 2.1 has required keyword arguments, that could clean up a lot manual checking for existence of a key in options.

Would you consider requiring Ruby 2.1 ? I'd say it is not so strict requirement, given Rails 5 will require Ruby 2.2.

See 9174022 how it looks.
