All, I just hit a case where I needed to return the caret character "^" as a Symbol. However simply doing something like method ^ #^. doesn't work. Even inspecting the symbol itself #^ inspect. doesn't work. "Quoting" the caret works fine: method ^ #'^'. So I'm wondering whether #^ (w/o) quoting is considered to be legal syntax and it's a parser "bug" or whether it's invalid by definition CU, Udo
