Hi,

|Q1. The module methods of that module do NOT become class

[ruby-talk:14845]

You didn't call "super" in append_feature.  Unlike other "hook"
methods, append_feature does the actual process of "include".  You
have "included" hook method in 1.7.

|Q3. OK, maybe I don't "want" to bring in both class and instance

It's very important to experiment. great.

|Q4. Why is it allowable to have a method definition within

You cannot define a method within a method definition, on the other
hand you CAN define singleton method within a method.

Hope this helps.
