I have a related question. "Class" is a subclass of "Module". Then why
is it that I can include a Module but not another Class?

class A
end

class B
  include A # Throws a TypeError: wrong argument type Class (expected Module)
end

IIRC, there used to be a ruby plugin called evil_ruby which allowed
this. Why isn't this supported natively in Ruby?
