Nope; if objs is an Array containing your rows, then Array already mixes 
in Enumerable which includes a find method (also find_all/select, which 
gives all matching rows, not just the first one)

You can certainly do that. As you already found, Struct gives you an 
easy way to create a class with accessors. OpenStruct is a more dynamic 
object, basically a wrapper around a Hash.
