[OT] Markaby trunk and Rails ivars

[Tim Fletcher]

Yeah, this is my fault - sorry for the breakage :)

p { thing } should work just fine now (as of r91).

The idea behind these recent changes is to keep instance variables for Markaby's
own purposes, and force everything else coming in from outside (i.e.
controllers)
to go through method_missing. The code is a bit cleaner as a result.

Any objections to the new style?
