Sure, I missed that Object itself is also an instance of
Object.  Thanx.

Then, is it OK as the answer to Paul's [ruby-talk:30124]?

  Since top-level methods are private instance methods of
  Object, any object can access to the methods, but not to
  top-level instance variables.  Therefore a method using the
  instance variables may not work properly.

  It's possible to access the top-level object with
  ruby_top_self, however, it needs a declaration now.


BTW, do you consider it should be declared in ruby.h?
