Subject: setting nil to zero

Hi,

is there a setting to set nil to zero? something like $NIL=0, then set it back again to $NIL=nil...

reason is i have quite a number of codes like ff

s.each do |w|
  f[w] = 0 unless f[w] #i want to kill this lne since it does not jive with my pseudocode
  f[w] += 1
end

thanks and kind regards -botp
