From: Dave Thomas Date: 2008-10-19T00:16:27+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:19378] Constant names in 1.9 When Ruby makes the tIDENTIFIER/tCONSTANT test, it looks to see if the first letter is upper case using ISUPPER(tok[0]) which eventually calls ctype_test(c, ONIGENC_CTYPE_UPPER); If I run # encoding: utf-8 puts "match" if /[[:upper:]]/ =~ "��" it confirms that �� is an upper case letter, but # encoding: utf-8 class ��lass end Complains "t.rb:2: class/module name must be CONSTANT" Is that expected?
