Subject: [ruby-talk:19743] [ANN] Ruby Behaviors, v. 0.0.1 (alpha)

Hello --

I have prepared the first public release of Ruby Behaviors.  This
release, v. 0.0.1, is alpha and experimental in nature, and fairly
rudimentary in what it does.  Troubleshooting reports and comments are
very welcome.

Ruby Behaviors is a package designed to let you easily introduce
locally-scoped changes to core Ruby functionality.  A very quick
example:

  require 'your_local_behavior_specs'
  b = Behavior.new(:BunchOfDefinitions)

  b.adopt do
    # code where your changes are in effect
  end
  # back to normal

  # or
  b.adopt
    # code where your changes are in effect
  b.desist
  # back to normal

You can get the package at
<http://www.superlink.net/~dblack/ruby/behaviors>.

Please let me know what you think.  (I can't so much as check the
server logs at this site, so I really need to hear from people :-)
The documentation includes musings on where the project should go from
here; further ideas are welcome.


David
