Actually, System::Converter is a generic type definition for a delegate class.
Generic type definitions are mapped to Ruby modules. These modules are included
in all instantiations of the generic type.
>>> load_assembly 'System'
=> true
>>> System::Converter
=> System::Converter[TInput, TOutput]
>>> module System::Converter
... def foo
... puts 'foo'
... end
... end
=> nil
>>> c = System::Converter[Fixnum, String].new { |i| i.to_s }
=> System.Converter`2[System.Int32,IronRuby.Builtins.MutableString]
>>> c.foo
Foo
>>> System::Converter[Array, Hash].ancestors
=> [System::Converter[Array, Hash], System::Converter[TInput, TOutput],
System::MulticastDelegate, System::Delegate, System::ICloneable,
System::Runtime::Serialization::ISerializable, Object, Kernel]

Hi
It is funny how obvious some of these things turn out to be.
Thanks,

Hello
Can anyone see why I can't include System in this little script? If I do I
get an exception 'Converter is not a class (TypeError)'. If I skip the include
and fully qualify the classes in that namespace this works perfectly.
Thanks for your time and ideas,
Patrick
