Subject: Calling a setter method in self (without self.)

Hi

I'm writing a code where it would be desirable to be able to call setter 
methods in self without having to specify self explicitly. Like:
x = 0 # calls self.x=, does not assign to a local variable

In Ruby 1.6 this was impossible. Is this still the case in 1.8 and 1.9?
I believe it is, but would like to be sure.

Thanks!
