I guess `include_ancestors` here means "modules prepended by prepended modules":

```
module A; end
module B; prepend A; end
module C; prepend B; end

C.prepended_modules(true)  #=> [A, B]
C.prepended_modules(false) #=> [B]
```

So, `include_ancestors` is not a good name; should it be called `include_descendants`?

@marcandre , am I right?

We should have a way to get the list of prepended modules of a class or module.

    module Mixin
    end

    module Outer
      prepend Mixin
    end

    Mixin.prepended_modules   #=> []
    Outer.prepended_modules   #=> [Mixin]
