And irb broke my heart:

Anyone have an idea what the hell heart:0 is?

Probably some garbage like \342\231\245 that got interpreted as a =20
UTF-8 string.

$ cat heart.rb
def =E2=99=A5(name)
puts "I =E2=99=A5 you, #{name}!"
end

=E2=99=A5 ARGV.shift

$ ruby -Ku heart.rb Ruby
I =E2=99=A5 you, Ruby!

Well, thank's all for your insight. The moral of the story is that one
should never use cmd.exe

Hope that doesn't start a flamewar.
