Ah, thank you for clarifying.  I still think the behavior is expected, even if my fix was bad, because the refinement is not active at the point of call.  However, only @matz can decide whether this is a bug or expected behavior.

After playing around with it, I found a way to get it to work without duplicating the literal method definitions.  It's not much better than calling `class_eval` with the same string in two places, though:

```ruby
class Foo
  module Extension
    RefinedImplementation = refine Foo do
      def foo(value=:none)
        super(bar) # << Can not see bar
      end

      def bar # << Bar is in the same module!
        42
      end
    end
    
    module Implementation
      RefinedImplementation.public_instance_methods(false).each do |m|
        define_method(m, RefinedImplementation.instance_method(m))
      end
    end
  end

  def foo(value = :none)
    p value
  end
end
```

I'd probably use `class_eval` with the same string instead of this.
