Subject: Singleton classes

Hi

class A
	def instanceMethod
	end
	def A.classMethod
	end
end

a = A.new

def a.objectMethod
end

Ruby uses Singleton class for the object a that contains the message table
with objectMethod in it. Similarly for classMethod.

Is use of singleton class a specification of ruby or it is implementation
choice? for example, we can define internal structure for objects in such a
way that it contains message table.


regards,
rolo
