want to add a new value 'a' for a key represented by 'a.key'. i also
want to group values with the same keys in to arrays. thanks for any
help.

if @attributes.has_key?(a.key)
  if @attributes[a.key].is_a?(Array)
    @attributes[a.key] << a
  else
    @attributes[a.key] = [@attributes[a.key], a]
  end

  @attributes[a.key] = a
end
