Subject: aClass.new([args]) -> class / object ?????

Hi!

We've currently got a problem with this code snippet:

classes = [Decimal.class, Whitespace.class, NonWhitespace.class]
cl = classes[2]
return cl.new([])

In our opinion, it should return an instance of class "NonWhitespace",
but instead, the compiler says the signature of new is wrong:

re_game_1.rb:28:in `new': wrong argument type Array (expected Class)
(TypeError)

The signature the compiler asks for seems to be that of the static
method Class.new - which we didn't use, or did we?

Thankful for any comments,
Guido
