Matches – easygoing methods

===========================

Matches is an easy DSL for defining regular-expression-based methods in Ruby.

Start playing with matches:

    # If needed

    sudo gem install gemcutter

    gem tumble

    

    sudo gem install matches

Then, in a Ruby file somewhere:

    require 'rubygems'

    require 'matches'

    

    class Hippo

      def initialize

        @verbs = []

      end

      

      matches /^(\w+)\!$/ do |verb|

        @verbs << verb

      end

      

      matches /^(\w+)ed\?$/ do |verb|

        @verbs.include?(verb)

      end

    end

    herman = Hippo.new

    herman.fatten!

    herman.touch!

    

    herman.touched?

    ==> true
