it might be dangerous - although i can see why it would be.  just pointing =
out
it can be done easily.  generally at this point guy chimes in with somethin=
g
subversive that could be done by using eval - perhaps something like

   class Evil
     def to_s
       'system "rm -rf ."'
     end
   end

   Evil()

it does look nice though.
