Subject: How to make generic #== method?

Hi,

Currently I got many simple class which is just a simple record-like.
An example
-----------------------------------
class LoopTag # :nodoc:
  attr_reader :param
  attr_reader :contents

  def initialize(param)
    @param, @contents = param, []
  end

  def ==(other)
    return false unless other.class == self.class
    return other.param == @param && other.contents == @contents
  end
end
------------------------------------
and I got a couple more class like this.

Is there a way to make a generic #== or some Module that I can include ?

I surely need it to do assert_equal on unit test.
You know, I just waste a couple hour tracking bug that doesn't exists
because I forgot to implement #== :)

TIA,
