[sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)]

RDoc page http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/doc/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Symbols has a description and an example:

Like strings, a single-quote may be used to disable interpolation:

:"my_symbol#{1 + 1}" #=> :"my_symbol\#{1 + 1}"

Whereas the text mentions single quote, the example has double quotes.

• Status changed from Open to Closed
• % Done changed from 0 to 100

This issue was solved with changeset r42500.
