Subject: [ruby-talk:01783] Slight incompatibility with new Symbol class


Symbol#id2name puts a colon in front of the return value, whereas
Fixnum does not. This breaks any old code that uses something like

   def method_missing(id)
     case id.id2name
     when "wombat"...

If this was a deliberate change, it's easy to fix the old code. I just 
wanted to mention it in case it wasn't intended.


Regards


Dave
