Thanks, that confirms my suspicions.

I wonder why this is rarely mentioned in books and articles on Ruby
scope, even the best. For example, here's a quote from a great Ruby book
I'm reading now (emphasis mine):

"There are *exactly* three places where a program leaves the previous
scope behind and opens a new one:

Class definitions
Module definitions
Methods"

That's why I thought there might be some force at work other than
scoping mechanisms.
