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 is 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?
