[FR-devel] why load_setup routine is so complex?

[gabriele renzi]

hi gurus,

I'm trying to understand a thing:

in /freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb 
why do we need all these?

def load_setup
 setupFile = @properties["config/setup_file"]
 return unless (setupFile and File.exist?(setupFile))
 file = File.new(setupFile)
 setup = file.read
 file.close
 instance_eval(setup)
 load setup
end


to me it seems that 

def load_setup
 load @properties["config/setup_file"]
end

should fit..

setup.rb is empty ATM so trying to test this thing
would be useless..


I'm sure there is a good reason for this..
 but what is it ?
