Just so you know, it is (somewhat) possible… see this example:

class Foobar
attr_accessor :var

# can be called with 0 or 1 parameters
# and will change behavior accordingly
def initialize(var=nil)
if var== nil
var= Array.new
elsif var.kind_of?(Array)
@var= var
else
print “invalid input in initialize”
end
end
end
