I agree.

I can do the following:

irb(main):014:0> class Numeric
irb(main):015:1> def sin
irb(main):016:2> Math::sin(self)
irb(main):017:2> end
irb(main):018:1> end
nil
irb(main):019:0> 42.sin
-0.9165215479
irb(main):020:0>

but I would like to just include the entire Math module 
into class Numeric. Can't get it to work yet, though.
May just have to make a special interfacing module
that can be mixed in, which defines each method in Math
like this.
