Subject: Re: assigning to hash keys when there is a default value?

I don't think this is a bug, kittens. since h[2] returns a value [eventhough it's not set], it causes h[2] to evaluate so the assignmentnever happens. x ||= y just means give me x or set x to y if there'sno value for x. h[2] _does_ have a value if only a default one.
just my two cents.
unless i missed the point here, in which case i apologize for my hastyconclusion. :))
