Hi all,

This is a summary of ruby-dev ML in these days.

[ruby-dev:18506] How to raise LocalJumpError with next and redo?

TANAKA Akira has asked when we get LocalJumpError
caused by next' orredo’. Nobuyoshi Nakada has
showed these examples:

# case 1
def foo
  next
end

# case 2 (toplevel)
next

[ruby-dev:18537] symbol literal with non-alphanumeric

Nobuyoshi Nakada posted the patch which allows
new symbol literal expressions like this:

%s(This is a symbol)      # == 'This is a symbol'.intern

:'This is a symbol'       # == 'This is a symbol'.intern

:"\xff"    # == "\xff".intern
           # NOTE: expression interpolation is not allowed

Matz has not decided to merge this patch yet.
This issue is still open.
