Class Attribute setter method doesn't return set value
The setter method for class attributes does not return the value that is set. This means that in cases where you use something like send(:attr=, VAL), the value returned from your send call is not actually VAL. Though I couldn't find any other documentation of this problem, I did run into a place where attribute protection was actually giving me problems that were fixed by this bug. Either way, this seems like a simple and sane fix. The included test helps to explain what the issue is.

I've tested this through 1.8.7 and 1.9.2.
It seems that the problem and confusion is related to the way the class was created. I don't know if they should behave differently though.
I've created tests that exposes those differences.
I can say that they indeed behave differently, although I don't know if its intended.
Since it has to do with creating a class passing a block to it(thus the difference that makes it return a proc object instead of the evaluation of the method on #send), I don't even know if this applies to rails.
