Subject: Re: documenting string

I believe Ruby treats this as a double quoted string. The following 
seems to confirm that.

irb(main):001:0> @cow = "bessie"
=> "bessie"
irb(main):002:0> e = <<SOME
irb(main):003:0" #
irb(main):004:0" # moo
irb(main):005:0" #
irb(main):006:0" SOME
=> "#\n# moo\n#\n"
irb(main):007:0> e
=> "#\n# moo\n#\n"
irb(main):008:0> e = <<SOME
irb(main):009:0" #
irb(main):010:0" #@cow
irb(main):011:0" #
irb(main):012:0" SOME
=> "#\nbessie\n#\n"


Looks like Ruby's sees the start of an instance variable when it hits 
the "@".
