That is your decision of course and by disallowing  the above code we are
much more consistent again. (so I feel it is a good decision too ;)
Personally I would have preferred that both were allowed but it is not
really a big deal.

In that context it would be nonsense to file an RCR as mentioned above.
Thanx for clarifying.

Cheers
Robert

P.S.
I should definitely get ruby1.9 fast and run my code on it before posting it
:(
Sorry folks
