Personally I think Mr. Mittag is overstating the issue. I haven't seen
anything yet to indicate that DCI is beyond implementation in regular
Ruby. But then maybe I am misunderstanding some key elements --I would
love to know. In any case, feel free to show us your code, even if it
is just an exercise in what can be done with RubyMacros.
