Thanks, I clearly haven't used Ruby for a while. I edited the post to be clearer.

  This was one of the largest differences between 1.8 and 1.9, to give context for when this change happened in MRI. During the split, the original interpreter was "MRI" and the bytecode VM was "YARV", but once 1.9 shipped, YARV became MRI, even though it was basically rewritten. Yay naming!
