bart,
Sort of, but I can say in all honesty that I didn't even get the idea, let alone any code, from those slides.

As best as I can decipher the slides:

  • An anonymous hash is set up with a couple special keys
  • These keys are code refs that alter the hash itself
  • I think you would need a "method" key as an accessor/mutator for each "regular" key. If not, you could wipe out your own methods
  • You mentioned in the CB here that you thought this might be a memory leak (circular references) - I think the possibility exists

    My approach doesn't have the drawbacks of the last two points. Additionally, you can add additional lexicals in my technique as a way to add "pieces" to the pseudo object, so you are not limited to a single hash.

    Cheers - L~R
