Is there anyway to delete all the local and instance variables in a
Binding?

I've been working on a test framework and ideally I'd like the tests
to run at the toplevel rather than within the scope of some class. But
to do this I need to clear out the variables between each test script.

Binding objects are not mutable, nor would I suggest this as an
implementation strategy.

Any suggestions?

There are at least 8 Ruby testing frameworks (that I'm aware of). I
would recommend examining existing implementations. Nothing I could
suggest in this space would be as comprehensive or accurate as the open
source prior art available to you.

Actually it turned out to be quite simple:

Object.new

After all, what is TOPLEVEL anyway?

Funny how things can seem so complicated, but turn out the be so
incredibly simple.

Thanks for the help.
