Summary:
[doc patch->object.c] instance_variable_set will create an instance var

Detailed description 
This wasn't clear from the docs, or the example, but I tried it:
        
$ irb < ivarset.rb
>> class Fred
>>   def initialize(p1, p2)
>>     @a, @b = p1, p2
>>   end
>> end
=> nil
>> fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
=> #<Fred:0x2fd764 @a="cat", @b=99>
>> fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog')
=> "dog"
>> fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat')
=> "cat"
>> fred.inspect
=> "#<Fred:0x2fd764 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">" 
>>
