Agreed, and I've added it to the TODO list.

BTW, just to let everyone know, I haven't dropped off the face of the
earth. I have, however, been quite busy, and unfortunately I haven't
been able to code much Ruby lately.

But, thankfully, that's changed recently. I'm now working on a project
that's going to use Ruby exclusively (since I get to pick ;-), and
expect to be devoting more time to Ruby things in general. So I may
actually begin to cut down on that TODO list again.

Stay tuned...
