Waitaminute there. It doesn't make sense for another reason. A Name
shouldn't be a String, because it's not.
class Name
def initialize(first, last, middle='', title=nil, number=nil)
:
end
def to_s
:
end
end
A name is a rather complex thing. It _has_ strings, but it doesn't
_only_ have strings, and the strings it has should be separate. This
of course is only a tiny demo class, too... someone could have
multiple titles, aliases, four or more names, etc.
