Patrick:

that sure works, the problem is that nil is extended with a or method 
that is not very intuitive for it...

>> nil.or(2)
=> #<OddRecognizer:0xb7a626bc> what the 揃$%!$%!$%@!!!!

Code pollution at is maximum expression hahaha

I thought of doing something like that with false instead of nil,  but 
is the same problem. And you can't dup nil true nor false obviously :)
