I believe I understand where Rick is coming from.

He's saying that when we do a *whatever, we are actively asking that  
whatever be split into values.  Because we consciously make that  
choice, to_a (a general solution) is fine.  We understand that we are  
calling to_a and willingly accept the consequences.  If we want to  
divide up a string into arguments that way, that's our business not  
Ruby's business.

At least, that's what I *think* he means.  Correct me if I'm wrong Rick.
