Of course, but  what I am puzzeled about is, why you use #instance_of?, well
not really, because that was how the argument began.
As a matter of fact let me be more humble ;)
I am afraid I missed something basic in the discussion, because to my
understanding #instance_of? is irrelevant and #is_a?
is what we are interested in, no? (obviously no ;).
Thx
