hmmm.  the thing is that prottotyping, in ruby, is not an object model but a
design pattern based on top of normal classes and inheritence.  since,
obviously, ruby does not directly support prototypical objects...  still, your
point is well taken.  i'll make an ammendment.  maybe

   prototype.rb supports a prototypical programming style in ruby.

cheers.
