*facepalm* Right. String interpolation. Too clever for my own good, is
what I am..

| I'm not sure the OP wants to constrain the keys to be symbols anyway.

Well, given that Rails uses the params hash, with Symbols as keys, I
took a guess. ;)

Also, it is a bit of a habit on my part to use Symbols, instead of
strings or so.

| Also, you're calling params; I think you mean param.

Yes, indeed. Typo on my part (I cought it the other two chances..).

| You could also do:
|
| def param[]=(key,value)
| @params[key] = value
| end
|
| object.param[key] = value

Oh, I'm gonna steal that idiom if you don't mind. ;)
