Hi,
Is there a way to have two constructors which take a different number of arguments?
If not, Ruby should really support multiple constructors!

class Foo
def initialize(*args)
case args.size
when 1; init1(*args)
when 2; init2(*args)
end
end
def init1(arg)
p arg
end
def init2(arg1, arg2)
p arg1, arg2
end
end
Foo.new(1)
Foo.new(“a”,“b”)
