|I've been discussing this for a bit on #ruby-lang on OPN (or freenode or

|Basically, the Symbol class should have more useful functionality.  One
|should not have to do the following:
|
|    @a  = 1
|    str = "@a"
|    val = eval(str)
|
|Especially when we've got a perfectly wonderful Symbol class which is
|not only there, but used internally for just this purpose.  I'd like to
|see the following:
|
|    @a  = 1
|    sym = :@a
|    val = sym.binding      # Or whatever... pick your favorite name ;)
|
|More importantly:
|
|    @a  = 1
|    sym = :@a
|    sym.bind(2)
|    p @a                   # => 2
|
|This has multiple advantages: 
|
|    *  It's more efficient.
|    *  eval() sucks anyway.  :-)
|    *  It allows rebinding variables dynamically
|    *  Symbols become useful in ruby code
|    *  All the internal calls are already there... like rb_ivar_set,
|       rb_ivar_get, and these all take IDs (which can be taken directly
|       from the symbol)

Interesting idea, but I feel like they are responsibility of Binding,
not Symbol.  For example,

  b = binding()
  b.bind(:a, 2)
  b.value(:a)
