Whoops.  That doesn't work:

prog.rb:18:in `[]=': can't modify frozen hash (RuntimeError)

Hmmm...why can you merge() but not directly assign to individual keys 
when a hash is frozen?

Ok, merge() with some better variable names:

   def using(new_options)
      Class.new(self) do
        old_options = superclass.options

        @options = old_options.merge(new_options).select do |key|
           old_options.has_key?(key)
        end.freeze
      end
    end
