i had a first look and i wonder how to use it in order to get a new
class "HFSFile" which can be used such a way, using OpenStruct :

hfsf = HFSFile.new(a_path)
p hfsf.path 
p hfsf.modification_date
...

because i do :

class HFSFile
  def initialize(a_path)
    @attr = {}
    @attr[:path] = a_path
    @attr[:modification_date] = ...
    ...
    @data = OpenStruct.new(@attr)
  end
  def attributes
    return @attr
  end
  def data
    return @data
  end
end

what is ennoying me in that case is in that i do have to use :
hfsf = HFSFile.new(a_path)
p hfsf.data.path 
p hfsf.data.modification_date
------^^^^^^-----------------
...
where i would prefer having self being an OpenStruct (extension ?) but i
think i can't do :
self = OpenStruct.new(@attr)

???
