I like to take that backticks method as defined above and take it a step further like so:

class Symbol
def [] *args
backtick self.to_s, *args
end
end

Then I get to cool stuff like:

:file["-ib", filename]

Thanks for that

If you need backticks 1.0 and you hate backticks because they illegible, use %x{echo hello world} instead.
