Thanks!  That got me started. I ended up with the following, which seems
to behave as I'd hoped.

class SpartanObject < BasicObject
  include ::Kernel
  
  keep = BasicObject.public_instance_methods + 
    BasicObject.protected_instance_methods +
    BasicObject.private_instance_methods +
    %w(
      catch class inspect object_id raise throw to_s
      is_a? kind_of? nil? respond_to?
    ).map {|m| m.to_sym}

  (public_instance_methods +
    protected_instance_methods +
    private_instance_methods).each {|m| undef_method m unless keep.include? m}
end
