I'm disappointed that Ruby still supports this goofy syntax: $ ruby_dev -ve 'p "a" "bc"' ruby 1.9.0 (2008-09-27 revision 0) [i386-darwin9.5.0] "abc" I'm not sure I've ever seen this used on purpose, but I know I've seen it several times as a bug now (usually missing a comma between them). Ruby makes these bugs harder to find just to give us a concatenation syntax no one seems to use. I vote we use 1.9 as a good excuse to remove this dubious feature. James Edward Gray II
