Subject: Private methods and self:


FOR ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-linux]:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def foo1
  self.bar
end

def foo2
  bar
end

def bar
  puts "In bar"
end

private :bar

if __FILE__ == $0

foo2  -> 'In bar'
foo1  -> 'NoMethodError: private method `bar' called for main:Object'

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the difference in treatment between the explict self reciever and 
the implict self receiver?

Regards,
Jim
