Subject: Ruby misfeature? => CONTEST: solve the following problem


What's the output of the following script?
Points awarded only if you don't run it ;)


#raise "Gave up already?"

def with(*objs, &block)
	objs.each { |o| o.instance_eval(&block) }
end

a = % 	 


b = %	 	


c = % 
 

d = %
 

with a,b,c,d do
	case self
	when " "; puts "foo"
	when "\t"; puts "bar"
	when "\n"; puts "baz"
	end
end


This feature has some serious potential for abuse! Good enough for an
almost indecipherable obfuscated Ruby program...

We shall now see who's got the best MUA :-)
