the only problem is that is doesn't work !! ;-(

i had another definition in scope in irb when i tested - so sorry.

i'm back to this now, it's the best i can manange attm:

   class Class
     def inside_metaclass?
       inspect =~ %r/^#<Class:/ ? true : false
     end
   end

   class Object
     def inside_metaclass?
       self.class.inside_metaclass?
     end
   end


;-(

i'm waiting for the french to come to the rescue.
