And, out of curiosity, why do you want that ? The singleton classes look 
like the "class of a single object" in (almost) every way. In 1.9 you 
event made it inherit the "real" class of the object. So, why keeping this 
kind of reminder that we can't manipulate singleton classes like any other 
class ?

(btw, I'm posting that because I had to implement my own ancestors-like 
method ...)
