Note that this can be mostly done with EvilRuby. You can change the 
direct superclass via Class#superclass= and the class via Object#class=. 
You can also insert new Classes into the inheritance chain with 
Class#inherit (which works by doing include(klass.as_module)). Note that 
there are still some limitations, sanity checks are a big one and 
there's still no way of removing items from the inheritance chain.
