Pick an example and I'd probably still whip out a lightweight class  
with a few properties to return one instance of

Return a tuple like many other languages have which in RB is roughly  
a dictionary and return one of those and you have almost the right thing

Make it a real TUPLE class with operator lookups tat give nil/o back  
if the item does not exist

Done
