Ruby most certainly does have a 'local' context. The variable 'b' should 
be local to the method 'a'.

When I tested this, I got an error similar to that of Nobu Nakada's:
-:6: undefined local variable or method 'b' for #<Object:0x2a79360> 
(NameError)

Using 'ruby 1.7.2 (2002-07-02) [i386-mswin32]' on Windows 2000.
