This isn't a Silverlight issue but an IronRuby one.  A Ruby string simply isn't 
the same as a CLR string - the Ruby string is mutable while the CLR string is 
not.

We need to come up with a cohesive plan for dealing with the difference before 
we can "fix" anything.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Stupid to_clr_string

Ok, I keep running into this over and over.  Whenever Silverlight passes a 
string to javascript, it comes out as some unreadable object.  You have to call 
to_clr_string to get it working.

This is ok... You can monkey patch some of the javascript library code to fix 
it, but with HtmlPage.window.invoke, for example, it's not easy to do because 
it sends a variable number of arguments.

Is this being fixed? Or is this something we're going to have to deal with for 
a while?

Thanks
