Hi Guy,

It works!  Thanks.

Just curious, how do you know all the smallest details like this?  From
experience, or from some written documentation?  I have read most of the
"Programming Ruby" book, but still missed this case.

Also, what is your opinion regarding the Principle of Least Surprise in
this matter?  At least I was surprised :)

Bill
