 In 1.8.6, you can set a local variable in a binding using eval. This 
doesn't seem to work in 1.9.2-preview1.

   def define_a(b)
     eval "a=1", b
   end

   define_a(binding)
   puts local_variables.inspect
   # 1.8: prints ["a"]
   # 1.9: prints []

 Similarly:

   def another_a(&blk)
     eval "a=1", blk.binding
     yield
   end

   another_a do
     puts local_variables.inspect
   end
   # 1.8: prints ["a"]
   # 1.9: prints []
