Jira (PUP-6211) Bad behavior of getvar() from stdlib when strict_variables is set to true

[Trevor Vaughan (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Trevor Vaughan commented on PUP-6211   Re: Bad behavior of getvar() from stdlib when strict_variables is set to true I thought about that, but the current behavior of getvar() is: If variable defined => Return Variable If variable not defined => Return the Error String This is 100% broken and my expectation (and apparently the one of OP) is that the following would be true: If variable defined => Return Variable If variable not defined => Return Undef Then, everyone (on this thread) is happy and getvar() makes sense from regular Ruby semantics of "return me a good value or 'nil'".
