I agree with you thats its a bit of a quirk, but its not easily fixed without alot of complex nil checking.
The implicit assignment is rather old anyway. Instead, I am just going to deprecate it. Sorry that it doesn't immediately fix your issue.

Erik AndrejkoThanks for the fix. I was able to avoid this issue by restructuring my application.
Did you look at the attached patch? It is not that difficult to allow explicit nil assignments. I'm not sure if the implicit assignment of the instance variable should be deprecated or not. Is there any sense of how often this is used?

I saw the patch. If we wanted to go that route we'd have to add nil overrides to :locals, and :as. I'd really hate to see a big chain of has_key? just because we can't rely on nil.
Implicit assignment is really old school. Infact, I can't even find it documented anywhere. We now have plenty of options to assign objects to the partial local. So I'm not too worried about the people who used to use it.
