----------------------------------------------------------- Object#class
      obj.class    => class
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Returns the class of _obj_, now preferred over +Object#type+, as an
      object's type in Ruby is only loosely tied to that object's class.
      This method must always be called with an explicit receiver, as
      +class+ is also a reserved word in Ruby.

         1.class      #=> Fixnum
         self.class   #=> Object

Cheers,
Antonio
