Also method definition looks like it was come from hell. I need to use UTF-8 names for buiseness logic of all other companies who does not care about English. All they want is suitable logic on Russian. Simply call Документ.Прочитать(ИдО=123). Or call Документ.Записать(). It is on Python, it could be on Ruby but here is very strange limitation of first character must be ASCII capital letter! ASCII! Why you allow UTF-8 encoding and forbid to make classes like this: class Пользователь def Найти(...) .... end end From similar ordered XML-structure. It is strange and unreasonable check. By the way, we don't need ActiveRecord or Rails at all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
