   Consistency.

Maybe, probably I am wrong, but I feel that when it comes to these
subtle things Ruby is lacking consistency.

There just seems no reason for some behavior and your example above is
a classical example. You ask yourself why and you cannot find an
answer.

And worst of all, you have to remember!!

Still a great, great language of course.
