Subject: Re: Ruby proposal: MAIN_BINDING

OK :-) eval is evil

You are right but if I can write

        eval("$name='Alice'")
        puts $name

and it's OK, the same would be (hypothetically) with

        eval("name='Alice'", MAIN_BINDING)
        puts name

it just means "evaluate this command and execute it in main block..."

I know that is not so easy, but what's wrong with that? Just want to write
self-writing code :-)

But... OK, Ruby is enough strong language even without my MAIN_BINDING :-]

        eval('proposal.reject')
