[bug] Array#first(symbol) doesn't raise?

[Simon Strandgaard]

irb(main):001:0> %w(a b c).firstxyz)
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):002:0> %w(a b c).lastxyz)
=> ["a", "b", "c"]

This seems inconsistent to me. I would expect a TypeError.

 

[ts]

S> irb(main):001:0> %w(a b c).firstxyz)

svg% ruby -we '%w(a b c).firstxyz)'
-e:1: warning: treating Symbol as an integer
svg%

Ah.. I see. You have good insight. Thanks.
