how to monkeypatch Hash's []= method, revisted

So google for a solution to this problem and found myself here:

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/eaa34998a74831b4/58b80fe0d4eadb1a?lnk=gst&q=+how+to+monkeypatch+Hash's+[]%3D+method+#58b80fe0d4eadb1a

But while reading, and admittedly not quite getting the solution, I had a bright moment to balance out the stupid moment, realising that = already has an alias to which you can delegate:

class Hash   def = key, value     store processKey(key), processValue(value)   end end

Hope it helps
