class Module

def alias_method_chain(target, feature)

so you can safely chain foo, foo?, foo! and/or foo= with the same feature.

alias_method :foo?, :foo_with_feature?
alias_method :foo_without_feature?, :foo?

is equivalent to

alias_method_chain :foo?, :feature

Query and bang methods (foo?, foo!) keep the same punctuation:

And both aliases are set up for you.

alias_method_chain :foo, :feature

With this, you simply do:

alias_method :foo, :foo_with_feature
alias_method :foo_without_feature, :foo
