Subject: method_missing and builder objects

jim weirich's got a hot example of using 'method_missing' to build XML
trees from defining methods in ruby objects.  (idea originally from
groovy, the rubyish java bastard language.)

"Ack, it's easy to see it in action than to describe it. For example,
the following code …

|  builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new("", 2)
|  puts builder.person {
|    name("jim")
|    phone("555-1234", "local"=>"yes")
|    address("Cincinnati")
|  }

will print …

|  <person>
|    <name>jim</name>
|    <phone local="yes">555-1234</phone>
|    <address>Cincinnati</address>
|  </person>
