Subject: Can I remove methods from a single object, but not its class?

I want to allow method calls during initialization, but not after:

  class Foo
   attr_writer :opt
   def initialize
     yield self

     # doesn't work
     remove_method 'opt='

     # doesn't work
     class < self
       remove_method 'opt='
     end

     # there must be a way?????
   end
  end

  f = Foo.new { |s| s.opt = 4 }

  # I want this to fail!
  f.opt = 1


This has to be possible... whats the magic? Should I use
#method_missing, so I can decide to respond to it only during
initialization?

Thanks,
Sam
