[ANN] Updateable 0.0.3

[John W. Long]

This is the first public release of a very, very small project I've been
developed at work. I call it Updateable. By mixing in the Updateable
module into a class you can easily update the attributes of the class
with a hash:

require 'updateable'

class TestObject
include Updateable

attr_accessor :a, :b, :c

def initialize(options = {})
update(options)
end
end

o = TestObject.new(:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3)
puts "#{o.a}#{o.b}#{o.c}" #=> '123'

o.update(:a => 'a', :b => 'b', :c => 'c')
puts "#{o.a}#{o.b}#{o.c}" #=> 'abc'

Interesting. Is there a particular kind of use that inspired you to
write this module? Or is it just that you'd rather condense four lines
of attribute assignment into one?
