~~~ruby

12:52 PM Ruby Feature #5994 (Closed): Dir.glob without wildcards returns pattern, not filename

06:11 AM Ruby Bug #1311: YAML::dump creates strings YAML::load cannot parse
=begin

Caleb's revisions are the way to go.

=begin
# ? Changelog:
# Represent lex_state by bit field instead of serial integer enum

02:48 PM Ruby Bug #1457 (Closed): Some grammar rules not terminated with semicolon;
=begin
