val = "fem"
class Test
   puts val
end

# or

class Test
   val = "A"
   def info
	puts val
   end
end

Test.new.info

#  or

val = 1
def t
	puts val
end
t

Why is it none of these are allowed?  All of these seem like perfectly 
logical places that lexical scoping would allow.  It really suprised me 
that none of thse work, anyone have an explanation for this behavior?
