Actually, if Martin Fowler wants to write another book, he should expand
"Refactoring" and translate it into Ruby. :)

Seriously, though, I'm not sure a whole book on metaprogramming,
Ruby-based or otherwise, is either necessary or useful at this point in
the technology cycle. There are quite a few articles on the subject.
What I'd rather see a book on is dealing with *concurrency* in Ruby.
Dual-core and quad-core chips aren't going away. :) Francis? You're our
resident expert, I think ...
