| "#{key.to_sym}" is always going to produce a string, never a symbol.

*facepalm* Right. String interpolation. Too clever for my own good, is
what I am..

Well, given that Rails uses the params hash, with Symbols as keys, I
took a guess. ;)

Also, it is a bit of a habit on my part to use Symbols, instead of
strings or so.

| Also, you're calling params; I think you mean param.

Yes, indeed. Typo on my part (I cought it the other two chances..).

|
|   def param[]=(key,value)
|     @params[key] = value
|   end
|
|   object.param[key] = value

Oh, I'm gonna steal that idiom if you don't mind. ;)
