Ruby 1.9 compat

Remember when Ruby supported `when <expr> :`? Well, it doesn't in 1.9, so let's make sure we use `then`, without ruining our lovely new hash syntax!

Start file
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

class Klass
  ITEMS
= {
    foo
: ["bar", "baz"],
    lorem
: "ipsum",
 
}

 
def initialize(args)
   
@item = case args.first
   
when :foo, :bar: ITEMS[:foo][1]
   
when :lorem    : ITEMS[:lorem]
   
end
 
end
end
End file
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

class Klass
  ITEMS
= {
    foo
: ["bar", "baz"],
    lorem
: "ipsum",
 
}

 
def initialize(args)
   
@item = case args.first
   
when :foo, :bar then ITEMS[:foo][1]
   
when :lorem     then ITEMS[:lorem]
   
end
 
end
end
