Subject: Re: Creating bang methods

On reflection, perhaps I have not been clear enough. I would like to create
bang methods of some math functions (mostly abs), but I don't know how to
modify the reciever in place because the value of self cannot be changed.
It's not really important that I be able to write these bang methods, but I
would very much like to understand how one would do it.

Class Numeric
    def abs!
        ??
    end
end
