Hi Itai,

   Good idea! I'll try to add this to the example.

thanks!

    Itai> Deliverable, which will call ToDos.addToDo, then add the new
    Itai> ToDo id to todo_ids. Or, as a third option, you could pass a
    Itai> method to ToDos.addToDo, and get it to call this method and
    Itai> give it the new id.
