What do you want the resulting XML to look like? Usually XML has name/
value format.
You can do this:
class Symbol
def to_xml
{self => self.to_s}.to_xml
end
end
and then you can call :hello.to_xml
=> <hello>hello</hello>
That's a little dangerous, though, and it may turn out that you should
rethink the XML schema, and use hashes in general.
