We're thinking now that we're going to go with the mangled version of the name
instead of the originally cased-version. "Dispose" just doesn't look Rubyish
enough. Any objections?

Subject: Overriding CLS Virtuals
I've committed some changes to IronRuby (in SVN revision 141) that let you
implement CLS interfaces and override virtual methods on CLS base types.
Interfaces work like Ruby modules, so to make your class implement IDisposable
you could say
require 'mscorlib'
class Disposable
include System.IDisposable
def Dispose
# Do something
end
end
You can also override virtual properties. A class or interface that has the C#
declaration "string Value { get; set; }" is overridden from IronRuby with
methods named "Value" for the getter and "Value=" for the setter.
Note that you need to use the same casing as the CLS definition for both
methods and properties.
We're just getting started with better .NET interop support and don't have very
much test coverage yet - but this should let you get going on some more
sophisticated interop scenarios than were previously possible.
