Subject: [ruby2] will $ for global disapears in ruby2?

Hello!

I remember some posts saying that $ for globals will disapear from ruby2. Is it 
still the case?

If I correctly remember arguments for that disapearance are:

1) short globals $', $:, etc, are too cryptic (and perlist)
2) globals are not good/true OO
3) globals may instead be managed through some module or class

  module Globals
   @my_global = "default value"
   class <<self
    attr_accessor :my_global
   end
  end

  puts Globals::my_global # => default value
