test objects design

Looking at watir code there is a nice patterns for accepting defaults for ‘how’ in method names for elements. Currently for frame, form and button.

like this:

I like this solution for my test framework. I have been thinking of making a small change to my snagit screenshot.
Basically be default I want it to take a screenshot of a :desktop but I also want it to snag a webpage with scrolling.
I still need to understand why the how.class is compared to String and not to Symbol.

And on another note I need to start watir.testr.us page for all watir related info in one place. - The Place To Put Things is a constant challenge, it seems.
