Since Ruby is typeless, I'm not sure what you mean here.  You could
always overload add on a container to ensure elements were of a 
certain type, or responded to a certain method.

I've been working on this off and on, and have developed several
solutions to add invariants and pre- and postconditions that
behave properly with inheritance and so on.  As soon as we get
the next major portion of the Ruby book out of the way, I hope
to get back to this.
