It may seem simple enough but its horrible. I think maybe this should
be looked upon as an oppurtunity to go back and really think about this
part of the Ruby syntax and how it all fits together. Really, there
won't be another chance. I can't imagine this kind of indepth
consideration come Ruby 3.0. So now is the time to do it. I think
truely fixing the issue rather than patching it is a better solution
even if mens some work on our part to transition our old programs.
