Okay, I think I know what you're saying. So you're defining a method for the 
variable that would be visible from within the def. Another viable solution. 
Sorry, I wasn't able to pick up on this from the frist post.

I image we could even abstract this further using:

  class Object
    def methodize(sym, var)
      class_eval "define_method "#{sym}meth", proc{ var }"
    end
  end

or something to that effect.

Thanks!
