Subject: [ruby-talk:11764] Re: Subclasses of a Class?

Thanks, gang. I had figured out the ObjectSpace approach on the way to
bed, and it seemed likely to be too costly for what I was doing,
though a good thing to know.

Even as a Smalltalker -- where I _would_ add the capability if it
didn't already exist -- I'm not used to extending the base classes
from my code in Ruby. It doesn't feel like something a file-based
language can do. I'll examine that short-sightedness in my copious
free time ...

If I do put inherited(by) into TestCase, won't I need to do super? Is
inherited empty? Is it guaranteed called back at every level?

Thanks,

Ronald E Jeffries
