[Wayne Kelly]

Hi Peter,

Yes, you are right, sorry - somehow I missed reading the very last case in our fix_plus implementation :(

What about this though?

class D
  def +(other)
    45
  end
  def coerce(other)
    [self,self]
  end
end

3 + D.new
=> 45


In Ruby 1.8.6:

Fixnum.instance_method("+').bind(3.0)

produces:

'bind': bind argument must be an instance of Fixnum (TypeError)
