This reminds me of OpenStruct...

We can only make it work if you accept always getting an OpenStruct in
return

irb(main):011:0> class OpenStruct
irb(main):012:1> alias _method_missing method_missing
irb(main):013:1> def method_missing(*a,&b) x=_method_missing(*a,&b); x.nil?
? send("#{a.first}=", self.class.new) : x end
irb(main):014:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):015:0> o=OpenStruct.new
=> #<OpenStruct>
irb(main):016:0> o.foo.bar=123
=> 123
irb(main):017:0> o
=> #<OpenStruct foo=#<OpenStruct bar=123>>

Kind regards
