But I still don't know whether it is needed enough to change the behavior. Almost everything is possible, if we allowed to change the language (true in this case), but it can make the language more complex, and can eventually kill the language. Maybe some of you don't care whether Ruby survive or not (you have a lot of alternatives after all), I care. matz.
