NAME

   openobject

SYNOPSIS

   a simple property based container that's much more capable than a  
blankslate
   but far less polluted than ruby's built-in OpenStruct.  openobject  
is a tiny
   lib that couples the power of the 'attributes' gem alongside a  
slightly
   enhanced blankslate type object.

INSTALL

   gem install openobject
