What about the method String#quote,

[Eric Luo]

I had found the method +quote+ of String, unfortunately it's no document
about it bundled.

I'm curious what's the functionality of this method?

ri String#quote

----------------------------------------------------------- String#quote
quote()

There is no String#quote method. Perhaps you were thinking of
Regexp#quote.

In my machine, there is an String#quote existed in the ri document,

E:\ruby\bin\ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

E:\ruby\bin\ri String#quote
----------------------------------------------------------- String#quote
quote()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(no description...)

E:\ruby\bin\ruby -e 'puts String.methods.include?("quote")'
false

I don't know why that happened?
BTW, The ri document was generated from the ruby source code.

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-linux]

ri String#quote
Nothing known about String#quote
