Subject: Re: Access control and class methods

It just doesn't work when done in this way becuase public, private and
protected are only effecting the incance level, so you need to get to
the class's "instance level", i.e. the class level.

class Foo
  class << self
   public
   def _public (x)
     puts "Hello in a public way #{x}"
   end
   protected
   def _protected (x)
     puts "Hello in a protected way #{x}"
   end
   private
   def _private (x)
     puts "Hello in a private way #{x}"
   end
 end
end
