Subject: Re: eigenclass not extensible ?

Effectively :

module Mod
 def somemethod
   "defined in Mod"
 end
end

class Cls3
  def self.somemethod
    super + " and in Cls3"
  end
end

Cls3.somemethod #=> NoMethodError: super: no superclass method `somemethod'

Cls3.extend Mod

Cls3.somemethod #=> "defined in Mod and in Cls3"

# But...

Cls3.ancestors #=> [Cls3, Object, Kernel]
class << Cls3
  ancestors
end #=> [Mod, Class, Module, Object, Kernel]

So in theory, the eigenclass is effectively BEFORE anything else but
in doesn't show up in the ancestors.


Last question : do you know if there is a workaround to make class
extension work like class inclusion ? Where the module is BEFORE the
eigenclass ?
