An interesting concept for functional apps (or system) Hungarian in 
Ruby.  It would be pretty easy to set up the missing_method function to 
extract out certain tags from a variable name.

For example,
assume you have a model with an attribute called 'Text'

you could set up missing_method to pick up 'iText' and return 
'Text.to_i' or 'hText' could return 'h(Text)' etc...

NOTE: I'm not advocating that this is a good idea, I'm just pointing out 
that you could use Hungarian notation in Ruby and actually have it do 
something.
