The point is that for most of us the sources are the only documentation when
something isn't mentioned in the Pickaxe. BUT Guy Decoux doesn't need docs.

This makes me think of matz's talk at LL2

"we, mere mortals, are limited"
(shows horizontal line over brain-power graph)

"some even less"
(lowers the line => laughters)

What happens here is that you were asking "I wonder how you learned the
usage" to one of the persons who knows the most about Ruby's internals
(I have the feeling he could recite the source code :).

WE are the mere mortals, HE is the Ruby-hacker god.
