[Facebooker-talk] view problem

thanks.  There was one problem with that solution - it wouldn't let  
you assign already instantiated
objects to the member variables.  I'm now looking at the following:

       def hash_settable_writer(symbol, klass)
         define_method("#{symbol}=") do |value|
           if value.kind_of?(Hash)
             instance_variable_set("@#{symbol}",klass.from_hash(value))
           elsif value.kind_of?(klass)
             instance_variable_set("@#{symbol}", value)
           end
         end
       end

should be able to get a patch & tests out this weekend.

  - kevin
