Subject: Honoring #to_ary and such

Well, for about the first time I am writing a library that has to be
very strict about types. Per the usual I am testing types with `case`,
e.g.

    def foo=(foo)
     @foo = \
       case foo
       when Array
          foo
       when String
          [foo]
       else
         raise
       end
    end

Now as I do this it occurs to me, shouldn't I also honor anything that
responds_to?(:to_ary) as an Array? And if so, what's the "usual" way
to handle it then?
