I am not sure I get your point.  The method was intended to be used as a 
top level method similarly to how he formulated his C macro sample.

$ ruby19 <<CODE

But, frankly, this use case seems to be so far away from his real use 
case that this approach is likely not what is needed.  Since I have no 
further information I stick with the example and leave speculation about 
the nature of the real issue aside.

Kind regards
