I understand were your coming form, but in this case I don't think that's 
what's happening. The class defines the nature of its instances. So its not 
like some other unrelated object getting involved. I just presenting a way 
fro a class to define the instance vars of its instances. In a way it is kind 
of like Hash.new blocks.
