Subject: Re: Creating objects from a template

Robert's solution seems to do exactly what I want. Hurrah!

The only thing I'm changing is making a hash with the new classes so
that I can instantiate them easily given their names:

 Object.const_set klass_name, klass
 kinds[klass_name.intern] = klass

 called_for = :LongRange
 p kinds[called_for].new

If this isn't the Right Thing in ruby, any pointers on better ways to
do it would be appreciated.

Thank you all!
