I am looking for any suggestions as how to expose ruby methods with names
that are friendly to other languages (vb,vbscript,java,jscript etc)

The problem comes with method names like empty? squeeze! etc.

So far I have only come up with

empty_test ( or perhaps empty_q ) names ending with a ?

Likewise

squeeze_self ( or perhaps empty_i )  for names with an !

Anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks
Ralph
