From: David Corbin Date: 2002-02-03T04:04:37+09:00 Subject: Variable types I know I'm new to ruby, but I feel obligated to share my dislike for "special symbols" to indicate if a symbol is a member, local variable or global variable. Perhaps I don't know enough to make such a comment, and someone will show me my mistunderstanding. Anyone else think like I do? David Corbin
