To clarify, what Sig asked us was why a line of code he cargoculted
was generating a syntax error.  He was not asking us to review a patch
or anything similar.  Maybe I'm off base, but I don't consider the
Prawn mailing list the best place to answer questions about Ruby
syntax, and I'm glad this thread ended up in a more appropriate place.
