Subject: Re: Does singleton variables have any meaning ?

I have no actual use case and I believe there will be not many save
for metaprogramming, meta-meta programming maybe ;)

517/18 > cat singvar.rb && ruby singvar.rb
class A
  @a = 42
  class << self
    @a = 222
    def class_inst; @a end
    def sing_inst; class << self; self end.instance_variable_get("@a") end
  end
end
puts A.class_inst
puts A.sing_inst
42
222

Cheers
Robert
