module Virtus

  # Include this Module for Value Object semantics
  #
  # The idea is that instances should be immutable and compared based on state
  #   (rather than identity, as is typically the case)
  #
  # @example
  #   class GeoLocation
  #     include Virtus::ValueObject
  #     attribute :latitude,  Float
  #     attribute :longitude, Float
  #   end
  #
  #   location = GeoLocation.new(:latitude => 10, :longitude => 100)
  #   same_location = GeoLocation.new(:latitude => 10, :longitude => 100)
  #   location == same_location       #=> true
  #   hash = { location => :foo }
  #   hash[same_location]             #=> :foo
  module ValueObject
