I figured I was right the first time.  It's nice to have some
confirmation.  The documentation is a little ambiguous about that one,
but I think most of us know what they are saying.  I'll be diving into
1.9 pretty soon.  I want to keep an eye on the eventual movement
towards 2.0.

Off-topic: I think I missed the announcement that the core docs on
ruby-doc are for 1.8.7.  A little frustrated that there's no title
telling me what docs I'm looking at.  I had to run into the "drop"
question before I figured out my bookmark suddenly pointed to 1.8.7.
It's not critical for me, because I spend all my time learning and
testing Ruby in IRB, but I imagine it might bother some other people.
Lesson learned.  Bookmark the main page.
