Oh yes, that was a test to see if anyone was paying attention. :)
It should read: "and if I bug Matz maybe it'll get in to 1.8.3."
> I also wonder why that patch was'nt merged.
I suspect it was just an oversight. You can see in [ruby-core:3154] that
Jean-Francois Nadeau provided a patch in July 2004, but it was never
incorporated. Anyways, [ruby-core:4364] says that the patch has been
back-ported to the 1.8 branch and it's just waiting for Matz-approval.
