"It would seem you only see the surface beauty of things."

Is that how you defend an API? Insult the user?

Holy shit that's stupid.

How about adding this to the Point class?

  def to_hash
    {:x => @x, :y => @y}
  end
  
  def to_ary
    [@x,@y]
  end

  def [] i
    case i
    when 0,:x
      @x
    when 1,:y
      @y
    end
  end

Should work if the receiving method interprets the arguments properly.
