Hi Mathieu,
thanks for the code example.

Yes, this is true. I see your point. But, at least for me, after
o.quality = 999'999
it feels strange that
o.quality == 100
The auto-adjust code might be handy if you always know what you're
doing, but it could also hide some errors in your program. I think if
I'd want to auto-adjust instead of raising an error, I would code it
like this:
def adjust_to_percent( value )
[[value,0].max,100].min
end
percent = o.quality = adjust_to_percent( 999'999 )
to make it obvious whats going on.
