Monkey patched ERB breaks other libraries relying on standard behaviour from ERB.

Reported by Aslak Hellesøy | February 22nd, 2010 @ 12:54 PM | in 2.3.8

This monkey patch of ERB causes ERB to behave differently than Ruby standard library's ERB - everything is escaped by default.

This causes problems for e.g. Cucumber, which preprocesses Treetop grammar files with ERB at runtime. Since ERB now behaves in a non-standard way this breaks Cucumber.

Intead of monkey-patching ERB, Rails should define a subclass of ERB with the overridden behaviour, and use that internally.
