I was wondering if perhaps you were eventually going to work it the  
same way that Continuation works--have the code in there but dormant,  
and then activate it when you require the Ruby components complex.rb  
and rational.rb. As is stands, it seems strange to have half of each  
of these classes permanently available, but the other half getting  
loaded on a 'require'.
