Method: Object#instance_exec

Defined in:
lib/core-uncommon/facets/kernel/instance_exec.rb

#instance_exec(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Evaluate the block with the given arguments within the context of this object, so self is set to the method receiver.

From Mauricio’s eigenclass.org/hiki/bounded+space+instance_exec

This version has been borrowed from Rails for compatibility sake.

NOTE: This is not a common core extension (due to the use of thread.rb) and is not loaded automatically when using require 'facets'. However it is a core method in Ruby 1.9, so this only matters for users of Ruby 1.8.x or below.
