Subject: let my custom defined class convert to string?

Is there any way I can make it so my custom-defined class can be
automatically converted to a string?

I have a #to_s method in it.

So it works when I do something like "#{var_of_my_class} foo".  It calls
#to_s there.

But if I try instead "some string" + var_of_my_class, then ruby
complains that it can't convert MyClass to a string.

Is there anything I can do so my class will always be converted properly
to a String by ruby, in all cases, so client code can really use it just
like a string?

Jonathan
