Thanks. My pleasure.


My guess is that outside of a string literal it would be difficult to get Ruby to look at any operator symbol as anything other than just the operator.


I haven't tried something like this though: foo."-bar"


I'd try it out but I need some sleep.


I actually talked with the guys that did the E4X work in Javascript. They did a LOT of work in the tokenizer and lexical analyzer to support the entire XML standard in Javascript.
