Subject: Hiding user input

Before you all read on, there is a restriction...

Without Highline!!!!!!!!
Sorry, James, I love the library, but I need this to work over IO.

How can I hide user input (as they type) without highline? Am I able  
to use blocks after gets()?
I'm hoping I can do something like this:

name = gets.chomp {|let| let.echo = false}

or something. I don't care how odd or crazy a solution, method, or  
whatever is. I'm looking for guidance in an almost pitch-black room  
of metaphors and elongation of said metaphors.

Thanks,
aRi
