ruby is a dangerous place to be if that sort of thing drives a fellow insane:

   harp:~ > irb -r ostruct

   irb(main):001:0> os = OpenStruct.new
   => #<OpenStruct>

   irb(main):002:0> os.methods.grep /foobar/
   => []

   irb(main):003:0> os.foobar = 42
   => 42

   irb(main):004:0> os.foobar
   => 42
