On a broader perspective, we can say when the class is loaded, when you
define a class like this in your code:

class Baz < Foobar
  sayfoo :rubyrocks
end

An object called Baz starts to exist in current Runtime, which is an
instance of class Class.

So, when method sayfoo gets invoked when object Baz is created or in
other words, we can say when class is loaded.
