Yes, no, maybe?

Ah, what the hek! I pulled down 1.9 and modified. Below you will find code.
Let me know if you'd like me to send code as attachment via private mail.
Okay so the trick was simply to move everything into a mixin module (expect
the initialize method). I also changed @table to @__table__ to help prevent
possible name clash. The only other changed required was using
@__table__ ||= {}
in a number of places (too bad no better way to do that). Finally I just
called the module OpenStructable --seems like a good a name as any.
Also, I found what looks to be a bug in current 1.9 version. The initialize
method wasn't calling the newly added #new_ostruct_member method. I fixed and
added #update method. Also, is #new_ostruct_member supposed to be private?
Currently it is public. If it remains public, I recommend a more generic
name. Not sure what though.
Hope you like,
T.

# OpenStruct allows the creation of data objects with arbitrary attributes.

# OpensStructable is a mixin module which can provide OpenStruct behavior to

# OpenStruct allows you to create data objects and set arbitrary attributes.

# record.pension = 300
#
# puts record.name # -> "John Smith"

#
# It is like a hash with a different way to access the data. In fact, it is
# implemented with a hash, and you can initialize it with one.
#
# hash = { "country" => "Australia",
opulation => 20_000_000 }
# data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
#
# p data # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
#
class OpenStruct
include OpenStructable
#
# Create a new OpenStruct object. The optional +hash+, if given, will
# generate attributes and values. For example.
#
# require 'ostruct'
# hash = { "country" => "Australia",
opulation => 20_000_000 }
# data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
#
# p data # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
#
# By default, the resulting OpenStruct object will have no attributes.
