Apparently not, since method(:include).source_location returns nil.

But you can see that the include at the top level is custom for main,
not the same include from modules:

irb(main):001:0> class Foo; end
=> nil

irb(main):002:0> [ method(:include), method(:include).owner ]
=> [#<Method: main.include>, #<Class:#<Object:0x000001008b8e58>>]

irb(main):003:0> [ Foo.method(:include), Foo.method(:include).owner ]
=> [#<Method: Class(Module)#include>, Module]

Good question. I'm not sure where main fits into the method lookup
flow. (But if someone tells me, I'll add it to the diagram :)
