Subject: Expected difference between 1.8 and 1.9?

Couldn't find anything in the change notes.

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]
a = *[10]    => a = 10

macruby -v
MacRuby version 0.3 (ruby 1.9.0 2008-06-03) [universal-darwin9.0]
a = *[10]    => a = [10]

May be a problem with macruby though.

Dave.
