Subject: Re: String.to_sym?

Hmm... What version of Ruby are you using? You should be able to use
String#to_sym presently.

Originally the method for doing so was #intern. Though I haven't heard
any specific verbage to the effect from offical sources, I would highly
recommend never using #intern again. Use #to_sym instead.
