Subject: Re: Conditionally Including Methods From A Module?

Thanks so much for the post Mike, very much appreciated and a great
learning lesson for me in some lower level Ruby semantics.

After my post last night, I can up with using define_method as well
and produced something like the following:

module ActsAsAnything
  def self.included(base)
    base.extend(ClassMethods)
  end

  module ClassMethods
    # acts_as_anything
    def acts_as_anything(opts = {})

      # index
      define_method(:index) do
        puts 'Index Method'
      end if opts.include?(:index)
    end
  end
end

Since I'm including a Module that I'm the author of, I figure I can
get away with this syntax and just redefine my top level Module as
such.

Any thoughts on this implementation?

Sincerely,
Kenny
