I skimmed it. It appears to visit the AST of the code and format that, as any formatter does. ASTs have not been type checked.
Can you give an example?
Precisely! It doesn't know the answer so it has to guess, or make you guess.
You mean how often does the same field name come up more than once? All the time obviously! Think about common names like
id
,size
,begin
,children
, etc. etc.I'm sorry but you clearly haven't thought this through, or you're just happy to ignore the limitations of Ruby. I suspect the latter. Please don't pretend they aren't limitations though. It's ok to say "yes this isn't very good but I like Ruby anyway".
