I'm not sure if this could work in Ruby, but I want to be able to fire a 
block as soon as something happens.

So @line_count is changed in various places in the program, and the 
as_soon_as block watches it; as soon it reaches 100, the block is fired.

as_soon_as button.pressed? # ... turns true
    stuff.do
end
as_soon_as chat_peer.online?
   say hi
end
as_soon_as game_state.changed?
   all_players.update_screen
end
...

But I'm still thinking myself ...
