Even if you behave, you *have* to rely on other programmers behaviour and hope they behave too. This means that you can't write " now's the time".split (like the example at http://dev.rubycentral.com/ref/ref_c_string.html#split) because if you happen to say 'require "foo"' and foo happens to change $; (maybe even indirectly saying eval for something coming from file (really bad :)) you're soon out of luck. So to be on the safe side you have to give up the common idiom and write split everytime by specifying the whitespace. On the other hand, I can't see any other solution here, than to peer review and friendly force global usage out from RAA-modules. - Aleksi
