Subject: nuby question: question marks in method names

Hi Guys,

it's a bit hard to search for answers to this question so here goes.

i've noticed methods that return booleans have a signature which looks like:
    object.something?

in the course of looking for answers, seems like ? is part of the
method, ie, 'something?'
and this is the preferred way saying that something is returning a
boolean value.

1) is there any way to do this automatically?
class X
   attr :some_bool
   def some_bool?
      @some_bool
   end
end

2) any tricks you might want to share?

stp
