In tonight's meeting I tried, and failed, to show how to create a Struct with a custom method. Turns out, you can't do that. But you can use Class.new to accomplish this. UPDATE: You can do this. I don't remember what syntax I was trying before, but in 1.9.3 you can successfully pass a block to Struct.new; though this isn't documented.

The end result is the same:

• A new Class object
• Default initialize handling the attributes
• attr_accessor methods defined for those attributes

Big thanks to @steveklabnik for his two posts which inspired me to try to show this horribleness (that's a reflection on my silliness, not Steve):

So recently I was looking for a way to do a comparison on a String with either another String or a Regexp. Looking online didn't yield much help, most discussions on equality focused on ==, eql?, equal?. None of which would satisfy the requirement. So I was left with this code:

def matches(compare_with)
  if compare_with.is_a?(Regexp)
    @data_string =~ compare_with
 else
