Subject: super with block

Hi all,

I'm looking for a bit of help.  I can't seem to get the block to "pass
through" to the parent class.  I figured without an '&' in the parameter
list there would be no conversion to proc but maybe that is not the
case.

class Nstring < String
  def gsub!(*args)
    super
  end
end

This works as I expected:

s = Nstring.new("hi")
s.gsub!(/(hi)/,'\1')
=> "hi"

But this, not so much:

s.gsub!(/(hi)/) {$1}
=> ""

Thanks,
Lou
