I think that

    * Map object of class A to an object of class B

and

    * replace all pointers of object C with pointers to object D

are stesp that would fare better if implemented separately.  My case is 
that the former cannot be performed in a generalized fashion, though 
one can pretend.  I think it may be possible to perform the latter in a 
generalized manner.

I like the name 'evil.rb', btw :-)

Cheers,
