thanks, Jim. it is esspecially usefull for cgi apps, since all the cgi 
parameters come in as strings. you are probably right about the name although 
it seems so long winded to say 'attr_accessor_with_cast' but its not so bad 
since you can do things like:

	att_accessor_with_cast  :a1 => :to_s,
						 :a2 => :to_i,
						 :a3 => :to_f

which of your two suggestions go you think best? and i will change it to that.
