Values is a tiny library for creating value objects in ruby. These mostly look like classes created using Struct, but fix two problems with those:

Struct constructors can take less than the default number of arguments and set other fields as nil:

Point = Struct.new(:x,:y)
Point.new(1)
=> #<struct Point x=1, y=nil>

Structs are also mutable:

Point = Struct.new(:x,:y)
p = Point.new(1,2)
p.x = 2
p.x
=> 2

Values fixes both of these:

Point = Value.new(:x, :y)
Point.new(1)
=> ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments, 1 for 2
from /Users/tcrayford/Projects/ruby/values/lib/values.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in new
from (irb):5:in new
from (irb):5
from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>

p = Point.new(1,2)
p.x = 1
=> NoMethodError: undefined method x= for #<Point:0x00000100943788 @x=0, @y=1>
from (irb):6
from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in <main>

Value does NOT have all the features of Struct (nor is it meant to).
