Rails - Nov 2006 - Rails logger doesn't log nil, Ruby logger does

Is there some reason that the Rails logger doesn''t log nil as the
string
"nil", like the Ruby logger does?  It is a bit confusing.


Ruby example:

$ cat log.rb
require ''logger''

logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

logger.info "test"
logger.info true
logger.info nil
logger.info "end test"

$ ruby log.rb
I, [2006-11-15T16:45:00.348262 #2058]  INFO -- : test
I, [2006-11-15T16:45:00.348815 #2058]  INFO -- : true
I, [2006-11-15T16:45:00.348917 #2058]  INFO -- : nil
I, [2006-11-15T16:45:00.349006 #2058]  INFO -- : end test


Rails 1.1.6 example:

class AboutController < ApplicationController

  def home
    logger.info "test"
    logger.info true
    logger.info nil
    logger.info "end test"
  end

end

Processing AboutController#home (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-11-15 16:46:54)

  Session ID: 36e54d45b4ccb93b8d70d1a243526682
  Parameters: {"action"=>"home",
"controller"=>"about"}
test
true

end test
