bug? passing :"|=" to the send method of an array is broken
while i was doing some programming earlier today i noticed that passing the |= operator to the send method of an array results in an NoMethodError here is simple gist of an irb session demonstrating the bug: https://gist.github.com/763108 also - i noticed this which is unrelated but may also be a bug: https://gist.github.com/763118 -zak
`a |= b` is syntactical sugar for `a = a | b`. If you replace :"|=" with :| you'll be fine. There's nothing an object can do to fully replicate the functionality of |=, though — an object has neither the knowledge nor the abilities needed to rebind a variable above its scope. This holds true for all similar operators; +=, -=, /=, *=, **=, |= and &=. ||= and &&= aren't, though, as these are logical operators that Ruby must treat specially. Now stop frowning; make that |= a :>! On Jan 3, 2011, at 5:35, Zachary Kaplan wrote:

Ah, and your other link is because it interprets your code as `foo(bar: (true { })) `. You must either use parens as you did below, or replace the braces with do…end, as this has lower precedence. On Jan 3, 2011, at 5:35, Zachary Kaplan wrote:
