Oh OK, that's the point Daniel was making too.

I guess instance_methods could take a tristate option:

1. instance methods of just this (singleton) class
2. instance methods of this (singleton) class plus
   the actual Class it derives from
3. instance methods of the singleton class, the Class
   and its ancestors

But as you say, having (true) and (false) is bad enough already :-)

Currently we have obj.singleton_methods for 1 and klass.instance_methods 
for (false=>2, true=>3)
