It would go nicely with a little demo I've been playing with for an
article on leveraging Ruby's higher level features for web programming
- the features I was thinking of were closures and continuations, but
hey, method_missing fits in nicely with the general theme.

Maybe I'll combine this with my continuations code and throw an
example on the wiki, so people can take a look even if I don't get
around to finishing the article.
