Comment(by haxie1@…):

 Replying to [ticket:1091 haxie1@…]:
...
Ruby docs for #inspect say that the default implementation just calls
 #to_s.  (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M000360)
If my class isn't initialized with a custom #init method that doesn't
 seem to be the case.
{{{
class Foo
    def to_s
        "I am Foo"
    end
end
Foo.new.inspect
"I am Foo"
class Bar
    def initMe
        return self
    end
def to_s
         "I am Bar"
    end
end
Bar.alloc.initMe.inspect
"#<Bar:0x2000c0960>"
Bar.alloc.initMe.to_s
"I am Bar"
}}}
Should #inspect do something different based on how I initialize my
 class?
My apologies...

If my class isn't initialized with a custom #init method that doesn't

I meant to say:

 "if my class is initialized with a custom #init method that doesn't seem
 to be the case"
