Subject: Re: Overriding Class Methods With Modules

That works.  So the final code would be something like:

module TestExtension
  def inject_methods(base)
    base.module_eval do
       def self.my_method
         "overridden by TestExtension"
       end
    end
  end

  def extended(base)
    inject_methods(base)
  end

  def included(base)
    inject_methods(base)
  end
end

This has always been a little clunky in Ruby, primarily because
methods written within a specific class were designed to override
mixin and parent class methods, not vice-versa.
