Yes, that was the exact reason I wanted to put my snipet into
some online cookbook.  There are always codes that are useful
but too small to make their own entry in RAA.  Not all of them
should be in the Ruby core.  Thus the online cook book is
definitely useful.

What is missing is an example entry.  I do not see how code
snipet like mine are supposed to be submitted.
