module MARC4J4R
  # Add some sugar to the MarcWriter interface
  #
  # Adjust the interface so that a #new call to any implementations that
  # implement it can take a java.io.InputStream, ruby IO object, or String
  # (that will be interpreted as a filename) without complaining.
  #
  # The mechanism -- running module_eval on a string-representation of the 
  # new method in each of the hard-coded implementations -- is ugly
  # and deeply unsettling.
