= Hexoid v0.2

Generate Ruby style object ids

The default to_s method for Ruby objects includes the object id encoded as a hexadecimal: #. When you add a to_s method to your own objects, you lose that hexadecimal value. Hexoid gives it back.

== Usage

    require 'hexoid'

    class A

      def to_s

        "<%s:%s>" % [self.class.name, hexoid]

      end

    end

    

    obj = A.new

    puts obj            # => ""

    puts obj.hexoid     # => "0x10103a380"
