Hi,
This is just a curiosity question about programming with Ruby on Rails...

In app/views/_list.html.erb, there are references to @query, but also to query.
According to Ruby variable naming, @query is an instance variable, and query is a local variable.

• query comes from the call:
  <%= render :partial => 'issues/list', :locals => {:issues => @issues, :query => @query} %>
  in views/issues/index.html.erb

• @query comes from the issues controller itself

So I was wondering,
1. If we modify query, will it modify @query?
2. Why do we want to use the local query variable for calls to column_header() and to column_content() (queries_helper), which, in principle, should not modify the object?

Thank for helping me fulfill my curiosity :)
