Instance Method Details

#identify(name) ⇒ Object

This function “identifies” an object, i.e. returns a unique ID according to the octiron logic. That means that:

  • For classes, a stringified version is returned

  • For hashes, the hash itself is returned

  • Strings are interpreted as constant names, and are returned fully qualified.

  • Everything else is considered to be a constant name in the default namespace. This requires access to a @default_namespace variable in the including class.
