Thanks, that's quite some information to take in.

Am I correct that the code below can't be rewritten, since it doesn't 
deal with Singletons? (taking a risky assumption here)

class_eval do
    define_method( :initialize ) do
        self.class.traits.each do |k,v|
            instance_variable_set("@#{k}", v)
        end
    end
end

After all, it only deals with the instances.

Also, I've been really confused about the difference between classes and 
objects.
I know that Objects are classes themselves, through "Object.class", 
which returns "Class".

If "hello" is an instance and String is a class, what is an example of 
an Object?

Thanks for your continued help.
