Thanks for clarifying that.  I'd seen most of that before, but I
didn't recall the details.  However, your clarification did illustrate
one of the problems I have with Ruby, in that it's got those kinds of
quirks that currently make it difficult to fully understand it, and
difficult to make another Ruby implementation.  I imagine a lot of the
quirks will go away with time as Ruby matures, though.
