Issue #8027 has been reported by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak).

----------------------------------------
Feature #8027: add the possibility to raise an exception in #included, #extended, #prepended, #inherited and break the calling feature
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8027

Author: Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal

Category: core
Target version: 


imo an exception in this hook methods should be possible to prevent the adding in the ancestor chain

module A
def self.included(mod)
raise "dont include me"
end
end


module E
include A
end
##>> RuntimeError: dont include me


E.ancestors #=>[E,A]
what i want:
E.ancestors #=>[E]



maybe other hook methods like method_defined should get an "prevent" option too

maybe for not breaking code we could add "before_included" where an exception could be raised
