Would constantize do the trick? I've used it to turn strings into class
names. For example:
constantize("Animal").find_by_name("monkey")
There is a whole pile of inflectors:

Good luck,

I'm working on a plugin that will include allow users to selectively

before_save :some_action
This works, but I'd like to allow plugin users to choose their own
callback. Of course, I can do a big fat case statement, but is there a
way to use a string to set the method name?
{callback_string.convert_to_method} :some_action
Any ideas?
