An addendum: testing with ruby 1.8.4 from a Locomotive bundle I had 
handy, reveals my solution does not work on my recent versions of Ruby.

I suspect this might be due to more strictness on doing shonky things, 
such as overriding private methods, which is the basis of my hack.

For now I am satisfied (since I am targeting OS X with Ruby 1.8.2), but 
if any Ruby gurus can suggest a 1.8.4 compatible hack, I'm all ears.

Regards,

Luke.
