thanks simon, but...

  class AHoward
    include Singleton
    class TooPainFulError < StandardError; end

    def initialize
      @langs = %w(ruby c perl java idl bash sh zsh tcsh csh fortran c++)
    end

    def rank lang
      raise NotImplementedError, lang unless i = @langs.index lang

      case lang
	when /[^+]$/
	  puts "#{lang} is my ##{i} ranked language"
	else
	  raise TooPainFulError, lang
      end
    end
  end
