Subject: nil.to_?  and  ruby2.0

Hi!

To the nil war:

Then what is the reason nil.to_i and friends exists?

Will it hide bugs?

I'm using 1.8, there nil.to_i exists,but
a=nil
b=2

b+a # nil cannot be coerced into Fixnum

So where to use nil.to_i?

ps: and how can I correctly reply to a message, if I don't get mails, 
but read the mails from the archive?


Another question of mine: where can I read docs about ruby1.9/ruby2.0? 
Shall I DL a snapshot and try it myself, or is there a good doc 
somewhere?

thx
Gergo
