Cool stuff.  I had never thought of incrementing type conversions. 
Haven't done anything like that since I built a VM back at BYU in the 
undergrad years :P

Class checking also has potential.  I'll poke around there and steal 
some code sometime if anyone gets around to wanting that feature.

I think you and I both ran into similar problems with constructing this 
type of thing.  It ends up being somewhat unnatural to use [hopefully 
less so with the latest incantation] :)


I did notice that Matz apparently plans on using something very similar 
to an ending hash for named parameters for 2.0 [1].
We'll have to see what the future holds.
