Hmm control maybe, you are not forcing anybody to call
f.extend(Container) in your approach.

Tom's approach would allow you to exercise some control about instantiation
e.g.
def initialize(settings)
   check about settings.

I however miss the point of #to_module ? What is that good for....
would you mind to explain please.
