Subject: [ruby-talk:17022] removing singleton methods

Is there a way to remove a singleton method from an object?

> o=Object.new
> def o.mumble
>    'mumble'
> end
> o.singleton_methods
["mumble"]
> o.remove_method(:mumble)
NameError: undefined method `remove_method' for #<Object:0xa1329c0>
(irb):43:in `irb_binding'

I want to avoid the warning from ruby -w when I redefine the singleton
method. (I know I can change $VERBOSE around the definition, but I got
curious.)
