I find method_name(true) isn't very intention-revealing whereas the
supported method_name(reload: true) or method_name(:reload) are
much clearer alternatives and I keep having to check the source to
see if it is possible, so why not document it in the README?

See:

memoist/lib/memoist.rb

Lines 52 to 57 in d0101e8

def self.extract_reload!(method, args)
if args.length == method.arity.abs + 1 && (args.last == true || args.last == :reload)
reload = args.pop
end
reload
end

@olivierlacan does the reload: true one work?

The problem with this method is that it's confused by the fact it can be applied to a method with any arity.
