[Ruby] testing advice

[ben wiseley]

Geoffrey... this is great stuff!

Any tips on how to dynamically add/change things like "acts_as..." to a
class.  For the tests I wanted to be able to test various options and I'm
assuming there's a more elegant way to that than creating a new class for
each acts_as_tsearch variation but I'm not having much luck google'ing this
up.
