I set up my test case to work with strange keys (numbers, OpenStruct  
methods), but I'm not sure what the right behavior is.  I see 3  
possible behaviors:
1. accept the data and let the client figure out how to get keys like  
"methods" back out again. (my choice)
2. Throw an exception when trying to store a key that doesn't map to  
a legal, free function name	
	- then what if they define the same key twice?
3. Try to remove the functions that are already defined, then redefine
	- can you undefine core ruby functions like 'methods'?
