Subject: 1.8-snapshot delegate breakage?

This code used to work until the last week or two:

require 'delegate'
class Row < DelegateClass(Array)
  def initialize(*values)
    @arr = values
    super(@arr)
  end
end

row = Row.new('a','b','c')
a,b,c = row
p a
p b
p c

Under 1.6 and 1.8 preview2:

"a"
"b"
"c"

Under recent 1.8 snapshots:

["a", "b", "c"]
nil
nil

-----------------------
This breaks ruby-dbi, which is why it caught my attention.  Can anyone
comment on this?  Is this a permanent change?

Thanks,
-Brad
