Keith, I've been asking this time and again since a couple of years
ago. I think the reason is that Matz didn't want singleton classes to
be part of the Ruby language (yet). He always said it would be
possible to implement singleton methods without having singleton
classes. I got the impression that he might be changing his mind for
future versions of Ruby, though, but I'm not sure. Matz, if you read
this, are there some new insights concerning this topic?

Regards,
Pit
