it uses method_missing, just not in a lame way ;-)

cfp:~ > ruby -r tagz -e' include Tagz.globally; puts  
anything_{ you_{ want_{ "can be generated" } } } '
<anything><you><want>can be generated</want></you></anything>


cfp:~ > ruby -r tagz -e' include Tagz.globally; raises_an_error{} '
-e:1: undefined method `raises_an_error' for main:Object (NoMethodError)



it is also very clever


cfp:~ > cat a.rb
require 'tagz'
include Tagz.globally

a = this_{ is_{ '<escaped>' } }
puts a

b = this_{ is_not_double_escaped_{ a } }
puts b



cfp:~ > ruby a.rb
<this><is>&lt;escaped&gt;</is></this>
<this><is_not_double_escaped><this><is>&lt;escaped&gt;</is></this></ 
is_not_double_escaped></this>


cheers.
