Subject: Re: Removing Instance Methods

This is a good way to get rid of those pesky 'method redefined'
warnings in cases such as in this case:

def a_method(obj)
	def obj.one
		'one'
	end
end

def a_method2(obj)
	def obj.one
		1
	end
end

one = 'one'
a_method(one)
a_method2(one)

> warning: redefine one

###########
def custom_remove_method(obj, sym)
	class << obj; self end.send(:remove_method, sym)
end

def a_method(obj)
	custom_remove_method(obj, :one) if obj.respond_to?(:one)
	def obj.one
		'one'
	end
end

def a_method2(obj)
	custom_remove_method(obj, :one) if obj.respond_to?(:one)
	def obj.one
		1
	end
end

one = 'one'
a_method(one)
a_method2(one)
