Subject: [ruby-talk:01977] Iterating over all instances of a class

I just KNOW this is related to "collection" somehow, or that there is a way to do this.  However, the way I do it now is to create an array of instances, but this creates some unwieldy *.find{ |i| .... } sequences and worse.  Can't I do a find over instances of a class?

I searched Class>Module>Object, as well as Enumeration and Array, but haven't found anything I think will work.  There were a few "instance_of" and so on, but they sounded like they required an instance.

I think what I'm looking for would also be a "Class Method" - is that right?
