Edit: I'm such a noob. So it seems that it's possible if I implement the interface to do so. Anyone with a good tutorial on this?

I was hoping someone could provide some advice as to how to implement the various class interfaces in order to achieve this, similar to p. 585-587 (p.587 has the all-too-common out of bounds bug BTW) of the RB User's Guide. It seems pretty powerful but I couldn't find any documentation or example code in the Language Reference either.
