Subject: [ruby-core:23850] instance_eval no longer yielding self in ruby 1.9

Hi folks

In ruby 1.8, instance_eval yielded self, this is no longer the case in  
ruby 1.9.
Was this an informed decision or just an oversight (after all it was  
undocumented in 1.8)?
If it was an informed decision I'd be interested in the rationale.
If it was an oversight: could we have it back please?
It was nice for blocks that didn't care whether they were  
instance_eval'd or just called/yielded to, as long as they get an  
argument. With 1.9 those blocks have to be written specifically for  
instance_eval and use self instead of the argument.
