Unblocked
summary
Explores concrete tricks not theory: shows lambda-return indexing to make x[y] work by returning a closure that captures x and later accepts y, uses class body blocks via Class.new to generate audit-wrapped methods, implements a regex driven XML parser that builds dynamic classes and objects (then concedes Nokogiri is shorter), and assembles a tiny admin web UI by mapping URLs to methods with Method#to_proc and SimpleDelegator hooked to ActiveRecord backed by SQLite — it mostly works but relies on several deliberate dirty tricks.
