Subject: self.inherited but wait until subclass is fully defined?

Howdy. I am a class. There are certain rules for what you are supposed
to do when you subclass me, so as a sanity check I wish to introspect
your subclass to make sure it's obeying the contract.

However, my problem is that self.inherited is called too early.

class C # this is me
 def self.inherited(p)
  #whatever
  super
 end
end

class B < C # this is you
# C's self.inherited is called right here
 def yourFirstMethod
  # etc.
 end
end

So I can't, in my self.inherited, ask about what methods you have
defined, because you haven't defined them yet. This must have come up
before; is there an easy solution? Thx - m.
