Hello.

I am currently contemplating writing a MUD in Ruby. (I don't mind how
"slow" ruby would be.)

Now there is a lot of unfinished code so far, but I was wondering about
one thing actually:

I am thinking of a base class for all the objects in this MUD. Naturally
the first thought I had would be:

class Object

But of course this won't work because ruby itself uses this class name.

Now, what I will be doing is to use another name other than "Object" for
all the base class for all Objects in the MUD.

But I was thinking:

- Is there any way to use a class name like "Object" on a per-project
base?
