I doubt that people coming from Java will discover the beauty of Ruby
if they are able to use things like RProperties. And in my opinion,
something like #get_p(...) is not Ruby-like at all.

The proper way would be to actually show them how it is done in Ruby's
way.

By simply adding "" around the values, you could even use this kind of
format with, e.g., instance_eval and provide an interface like the
following:

  Properties.site_name

to get the value of site_name, which is way nicer than get_p('site_name')
