Subject: How to invoke === using custom classes and case statements.

Hi all,

I was trying to develop a definition for the  === operator on a custom
class I made.  It seems like that when I use case statements on an
object of the class the === operator does not get invoked.  What could
I be doing wrong?
Here's how I'm using it.  

a = MyClass.new()

case a
when 'hello';printf "Blah....\n"
when 'bye' ; printf "Blah....Blah...\n"
else; printf "Blah... Blah... Blah...\n"
end 

I know I have the === operator correctly defined.. Because when I
explicitly use it as follows then it works:

     if a === 'hello' 
        printf "Blah....\n"
     elsif a === 'bye' 
        printf "Blah....Blah...\n"
     else
        printf "Blah... Blah... Blah...\n"
     end

Any clues on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
