You really missed methods "prop" and "prop="

	class A
	   def p
	      return @b * 10
	   end
	   def p=( v )
	      @b = v / 10
	      return v
	   end
	   def b
	      return @b
	   end
	end

This would define property p wich is ten times larger  than b :)

# I want to implement a C extension for a GUI toolkit that 
# supports the same magic properties like delphi.
# 
# But how can i define a getter/setter function. I found the
# 
#              "rb_define_virtual_variable"
# 
# but this is only for global variables not for instance variables.
# 
# Have i missed something or is it just not possible.
# And if not wouldn't it nice to have ?

# Thanks,
