Topic: define_method and ''

In these days I was trying define_method(param) and I found that if a pass param as a string with '', like 

define_method('#{name}')

it doesn't create the method (I used instance.methods.sort for verifying it): changing to "" solves the problem. Why? cheers

Re: define_method and ''

Presumably because '#{name}' is a literal, and "#{name}" supports substitution?
