Subject: Dynamic methods

I have seen examples of catching unkown methods called on a class with
method_missing.
For example:

class Example
   def initialize(...)
      #...
   end

   def method_missing(item)
      call = item.id2name
      process(call)
   end
end

But I'm not sure if that is an 'acceptable' way to do things. Also,
suppose that I wanted to add a method dynamically that takes arguments,
is this even possible?
My general thought is allowing functionality to be added to a program
dynamically based on a set of rules in a config file.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
