Someone forgot to take his pill today.

Of course you do care, otherwise you wouldn't be giving your opinion,
and it impacts on, guess what, your Ruby implementation.

And for the rest of your message, it doesn't deserve any answer from me.

To contribute to the discussion, I agree with the original poster.
There's no point on having an schizophrenic :: operator, where both ::
and . have clear separate meanings, if you allow me to invoke previous
usage of these operators in other relevant languages as an argument.
