the above really su..., sorry

class A
  alias_method :old_init, :initialize
  def initialize *args, &blk
    old_init( *args, &blk )
    instance_eval do
        def ara; value end
    end
  end
end
# the issues remain though, we could apply the method redefintion
hammer Pit and Ara came up with and just redefine initialize like
that, but that would make it about 100 lines I guess :(
