Ancestors for Singleton classes

From: "Robert Dober" <robert.dober@...>

List: ruby-core #11481
I am taking this away from ruby-talk as it contains patches.

By looking at rb_mod_ancestor in class.c one can see that the
singleton class is *explicitly not included* into the ancestor list.

Therefore this is done for a purpose(1), I'd love to know more about it.

As I am curious I just recompiled 1.8.6 with the
class.c.patch-incl-ancestor-for-singletons patch, and it did what I
wanted at first sight, as I have already done it for fun I have
included the patch anyway [a monster patch be warned ;)].

If you do not want this patch, which is very likely, maybe you want
the other, even bigger I am afraid;).

Cheers
Robert
