Well, it slightly relates to syntax ... because basic ruby types (string, 
numeric, array, hash, range, etc.) use to print valid ruby syntax on inspect. 
This is very useful for reinterpreting values stored as strings by the use of 
inspect.

This is not about syntax. This is just what System::String#inspect prints out.

Wouldn't using different syntax especially for clr just amount to
creating a new language instead of implementing Ruby on the dlr? (Not
to mention a language that's not very intuitive)
