Yes, I understand that.

I guess my surprise is that I think of define? as being an operator
which operates on syntax.  Since the original issue in this thread was
that

defined? a = 1

was setting a to 1, and that seemed to be considered a bug.  I'd
expected that it shouldn't define a either.

But thinking it trough a little bit, I guess that it's consistent with
the parser defining a variable when it has seen it with enough context
to know what it is, i.e. in the case of a 'bareword' to determine if
it's a local or a method name.

Just one of those little lovable quirks of Ruby. <G>
