Why so conservative? So they don't overwrite standard object methods? I 
wondered why accessors weren't used. I suppose a hash is faster too. Hek, 
maybe '@' itself should be hash and forget about it ;)

This is what I mean:

  o = OpenStruct.new( foo_hash )
  
  # later ...

  o.update( bar_hash )

The reason is because I am modifying and using the object on the fly.

Thanks,
