Subject: self.module_eval?

Why does this work:

 class ComplexObject
    attr_accessor :colour
    def initialize  # :yield: c
        ComplexObject.module_eval "undef_method :colour="
    end	
 end

But this doesn't?

 class ComplexObject
    attr_accessor :colour
    def initialize  # :yield: c
        self.module_eval "undef_method :colour="
    end	
 end

(btw, I know about attr_reader, I'm just looking for ways around the
"disadvantages" for "Initializing complex objects" at
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyIdioms )

I assumed that self == ComplexObject, but obviously not... why is that?

Cheers,
Douglas
