BBOpenstruct

This gem contains BBOpenStruct (Binding-based openstruct) class - reimplementation of OpenStruct that uses binding to store your data internally. Why? For science. You monster.

Test file is actually taken from original openstruct implementation, so API is nearly identical.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bb_openstruct'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bb_openstruct

Use it like your normal OpenStruct:

require 'bb_openstruct'
bb = BBOpenStruct.new(a: 1)
bb.a # => 1
bb[:a] # => 1
bb.new_var = 20
bb.new_var # => 20

Well... I don't really know what can go wrong, however I'm not sure it's very good idea.
