== DESCRIPTION
General binary associations allows one object to be
associated with another. It has a variety of uses,
link-lists, simple ordered maps and mixed collections,
among them.
== FEATURES/ISSUES
* Create linked-lists with operator (#>>).
* Operator notation does not work for:
* Bignum
* Fixnum
* Date
* IPAddr
* Process::Status
Or any other class that defines #>> for something else.
* An object can have multiple associations.
== SYNOPSIS
Gerenal binary association allows one object to be
associated with another. It has a variety of uses,
link-lists, simple ordered maps and mixed collections,
among them.
Associations can be used to draw simple relationships.
:Apple >> :Fruit
:Apple >> :Red
:Apple.associations #=> [ :Fruit, :Red ]
It can also be used for simple lists of ordered pairs.
c = [ :a >> 1, :b >> 2 ]
c.each { |k,v| puts "#{k} associated with #{v} }
produces
a associated with 1
b associated with 2
The method :>> is used to construct the association.
It is a rarely used method so it is generally available.
But you can't use an Association while extending
any of the following classes becuase they use #>> for
other things.
Bignum
Fixnum
Date
IPAddr
Process::Status
