I certainly think you're right to raise the scoping issues of this implementation in 1.8. Luckily, it seems we can have our cake and eat it with ruby 1.9! :) And if people use Daniel's implementation as a shim for 1.8, we now have a clear explanation of the differences between this and what will eventually be the official behaviour. Gotta love this list. Regards, Sean
