ruby.git/test/prism/result/implicit_array_test.rb, branch v3_4_9 The Ruby Programming Language [ruby/prism] Handle implicit array precedence 2024-06-13T18:46:02+00:00 Kevin Newton kddnewton@gmail.com 2024-06-13T18:27:08+00:00 0321f2c8fe7520762af49c4c4e1598ada964c402 When an implicit array is used in a write, is causes the whole expression to become a statement. For example: ```ruby a = *b a = 1, 2, 3 ``` Even though these expressions are exactly equivalent to their explicit array counterparts: ```ruby a = [*b] a = [1, 2, 3] ``` As such, these expressions cannot be joined with other expressions by operators or modifiers except if, unless, while, until, or rescue. https://github.com/ruby/prism/commit/7cd2407272 
When an implicit array is used in a write, is causes the whole
expression to become a statement. For example:

```ruby
a = *b
a = 1, 2, 3
```

Even though these expressions are exactly equivalent to their
explicit array counterparts:

```ruby
a = [*b]
a = [1, 2, 3]
```

As such, these expressions cannot be joined with other expressions
by operators or modifiers except if, unless, while, until, or
rescue.
