# OpenStruct allows the creation of data objects with arbitrary attributes.
# See OpenStruct for an example.
# An OpenStruct is a data structure, similar to a Hash, that allows the
# definition of arbitrary attributes with their accompanying values. This is
# accomplished by using Ruby's metaprogramming to define methods on the class
# person = OpenStruct.new
# person.name = "John Smith"
# person.name # => "John Smith"
# person.address # => nil
# An OpenStruct employs a Hash internally to store the attributes and values
# and can even be initialized with one:
# australia = OpenStruct.new(:country => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra")
# # => #<OpenStruct country="Australia", capital="Canberra">
# Hash keys with spaces or characters that could normally not be used for
# method calls (e.g. <code>()[]*</code>) will not be immediately available
# on the OpenStruct object as a method for retrieval or assignment, but can
# still be reached through the Object#send method.
# measurements = OpenStruct.new("length (in inches)" => 24)
# measurements.send("length (in inches)") # => 24
# message = OpenStruct.new(:queued? => true)
# message.queued? # => true
# message.send("queued?=", false)
# message.queued? # => false
# Removing the presence of an attribute requires the execution of the
# delete_field method as setting the property value to +nil+ will not
# first_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => "Rowdy", :owner => "John Smith")
# second_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => "Rowdy")
# first_pet # => #<OpenStruct name="Rowdy", owner=nil>
# first_pet == second_pet # => false
# first_pet.delete_field(:owner)
# first_pet # => #<OpenStruct name="Rowdy">
# first_pet == second_pet # => true
# An OpenStruct utilizes Ruby's method lookup structure to find and define the
# necessary methods for properties. This is accomplished through the methods
# method_missing and define_singleton_method.
# This should be a consideration if there is a concern about the performance of
# the objects that are created, as there is much more overhead in the setting
# of these properties compared to using a Hash or a Struct.
# Creates a new OpenStruct object. By default, the resulting OpenStruct
# object will have no attributes.
# The optional +hash+, if given, will generate attributes and values
# (can be a Hash, an OpenStruct or a Struct).
# hash = { "country" => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra" }
# data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
# data # => #<OpenStruct country="Australia", capital="Canberra">
# Duplicates an OpenStruct object's Hash table.
