Hmm, I was under the impression that keywords were distinct from
methods. After all, I can't explicitly specify a receiver when using a
keyword:

$ irb
1.9.2-p290 :001 > self.begin
NoMethodError: undefined method `begin' for main:Object
	from (irb):1
	from /Users/kendall/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'
1.9.2-p290 :002 > self.def hi
NameError: undefined local variable or method `hi' for main:Object
	from (irb):2
	from /Users/kendall/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'

As such, I'm also confused why a *keyword* is somehow affiliated with
a class. I'd guess/assume it's just how the RDoc engine works and was
used to document keywords (???) as opposed to it actually indicating
that keywords are somehow implemented as methods on Object. I'd love
to know, semantically speaking as well as technically, what the case
is here.
