You can use Module and super

class Channel
	def initialize
		super if defined? super
	end
end

module AChannelPlugin
	def initialize
		super if defined? super
		# Then write custom code. (To open a log file, for example.)
	end
end

channel = Channel.new 
channel.extend AChannelPlugin # per-object plugin loading
Channel.include AChannelPlugin # global plugin loading

Just make sure you don't forget to call super :p

The main problem is that you can't remove a plugin on-the-fly (you would 
have to put a kind of per-module, per-instance enable/disable mechanism by 
hand)
