    * rescue IOError -> var

      Need to modify parser. Doesn't seem to be used from what I 
      can see in
      fgrep -e '-&gt;' ruby-man-1.4/* 
      Looks a bit like Icon's reversible assignment (<-) and ISTR
      APL or PL/1 had an assignment like that...
      Doesn't look like any comparison operator I know (said he,
      displaying his ignorance...)
