Attic - v0.3 ALPHA

A place for Ruby objects to hide instance variables.

This library is fresh (est 2009-07-06) and barely tested. It’s fun to use but not reliable yet. In particular:

• Does not work with Symbols or Fixnum object

Example

require 'attic'

String.extend Attic
String.attic :timestamp

a = "anything"
a.timestamp = "1980-11-18"
a.instance_variables          # => []
a.timestamp                   # 1980-11-18
