This might be a very silly question, but how does the module/namespace
Foo know that to_s is attached to class String (and strings such as
'hello')? Or is it attached to all objects used after "using Foo"?
That wouldn't seem right for me, after all, Ruby is object-oriented,
which means methods go on classes, not on files.
