Subject: Re: WTF? Case statement disfunctional?

Hi guys

Thanks for the prompt and helpful responses. Your proposals work, but I 
am still unhappy about spending an hour tracking this bug.

So CASE uses '===' and not '==', am I correct? So why does

a = 1
a === Fixnum

==> false

Furthermore, In my original example, one would expect a.class === Fixnum 
to return true in any case, as '===' is supposed to be more forgiving 
than '==', but it doesn't.

This is all a bit counter intuitive to me and !(least surprising).

Pieter
