Subject: instance_eval("class") error/bug???

if I try someObject.instance_eval("class") I get :

in `instance_eval': (eval):1:in `instance_eval': compile error 
(SyntaxError)
(eval):1: syntax error
class

I am using PragProgs install for 1.8 for Windows.  Is this expected 
or a bug?  

As a work around I am using send() instead, but I believe I had 
tested them in the past and found instance_eval to be faster than 
send.

P.S. Note I am not really doing the above, I am taking a string using 
it dynamically, it just happened to crash with "class"
