It would be nice if someone who has looked into it (or wants to spend a few hours looking into it in the next couple of weeks) could give a talk outlining what's new, different and exciting in
1.9 vs. 1.8. Perhaps this might be a good starting point: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; "><a href="http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?Changes+in+Ruby+1.9">http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?Changes+in+Ruby+1.9
