I've been looking around the web and have found a great deal of information on attempting what I am, however one bit of sugar I'd like to add to my Ruby/Rails mixin, is creating a function that looks for a pattern. I want to create a base function called
is_a_*
where * can be anything. Whatever that * is, needs to be retrievable so I can use it inside the function and act accordingly. Do I have to use method_missing?
