That isn't too hard to implement.

@variable = args.first unless args.empty?

Now we can be even more like Smalltalk!

Seriously, though, I think a Hash would both make more sense there (if

hacking the setter syntax in a block. Though I guess maybe people don't
like typing equals signs. I don't know.
