How about crystallize for permanent, and freeze/unfreeze for reversable? The
only problem is that I'll never be able to remember if crystallize is with
one l or two. Hmmm.... let me look that up. Eek! It can be either way!
Although two l's seems to be the standard form.

Or, if you're a Star Wars fan, how about leaving freeze for permanent, and
have carbonitify/decarbonitify for reversable? Then I could have a business
card like:

	Nathaniel Talbott
	Object Technology Specialist
	Ruby Bounty Hunter

<stupid grin>

Oh, and Merry Christmas to everyone. This list is just as cool as Ruby
itself. Everybody keep up the good work, and lets take over the world (so I
can write Ruby instead of Java)!
