Comment(by krishna.kotecha@…):

 This bug was discovered whilst I was working through the MacRuby article
 on the  (see: Mac Dev Center
 http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/scriptingautomation/cocoaappswithmacruby.html).

 The following is used as example code:

 {{{
 >> h.setObject 'bar', :forKey => 43
 => nil
 >> h
 => {42=>"foo", 43=>"bar"}
 }}}

 And of course, trying the following causes much confusion to the newcomer:

 {{{
 >> h[42]
 => nil
 }}}
