As I said in my reply to Gavin���s solution, the idea is that I want to
combine visibility with definition.  Gavin���s way doesn���t work the way
that his suggestion may imply (which makes it somewhat dangerous) and
isn���t really an option in my case.  I mainly want to save having to
write

  def m
    ���
  end

  private :m

and instead combine the two.  The reason for this is that I���m writing
code that���s going to be included in a manuscript and I was trying to
keep things short and simple.  I guess this wasn���t as simple as I had
hoped���,
