Wow... I really like that, Dave.

It also doesn't pollute the namespace (much|at all), since it's
occupying the Class name in the method namespace.  I really like that --
it seems elegant, syntactically, at least.

It makes the YAML %{...} look really nice, too.  Far nicer than a
here-doc, anyway, which I've never been able to indent properly.
