 in irb

 {{{
 irb(main):009:0> def test; a = 42; p a; end; test
 }}}

 produces

 {{{
 NameError: undefined local variable or method `:a' for main:TopLevel
         from 0:in `test'
         from 0:in `eval:'
         from 0:in `evaluate:'
         from 0:in `evaluate:'
         from 0:in `signal_status:'
         from 0:in `class_eval:'
         from 0:in `each_top_level_statement'
         from 0:in `eval_input'
         from 0:in `start:'

 }}}


 macruby:

 {{{
 macruby -e "def test; a = 42; p a; end; test"
 }}}

 works fine
