Object IDs

[Alex Young]

A couple of quick questions:

a) Are object id's ever reused within the life of a Ruby process?

b) Are object id's unique across the whole Ruby process, or only within
a given context?

They are recycled by garbage collector.

They are unique in the certain point of the execution.
