to_sym behaves different than MRI 1.8.6

Reported by Philipp Pirozhkov | August 19th, 2008 @ 02:25 AM | in 1.0 preview

"abc".to_sym # :abc "abc=".to_sym # :abc= in MRI, :'abc=' in rbx "==".to_sym #:== in MRI, :'==' in rbx

these breaks merb's extlib gem code (LazyArray), that has metadata instrumenting

mistake: "==".to_sym works fine

- → State changed from “new” to “resolved”
