It seems that it was a bit of an oversight when the change that
implemented that feature was approved.  This is the redmine issue that
tracked the change:

Here is a discussion about it:

http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/330466

Apparently, the change was reverted for Ruby 1.9.3+.  I haven't checked
to confirm for myself yet.
