[MacRuby-devel] Re: super_foo style RubyCocoa messages.

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Eloy,

This is great work. I will introduce this API as discussed, when I  
will fix RubyGems. I started working on this, currently net/http is  
broken due to the new String changes.

BTW, does rspec work nice with MacRuby trunk?  I would expect at least  
some breakage :)
