Subject: Clarification requested on Object->Kernel relationship

Whoever can answer this:

Per the pixaxe book pg 245:

"When a class includes a module, that module's instance methods become
available as instance methods of the class. It's almost as if the module
becomes a superclass of the class that uses it. Not surprisingly, that's
about how it works. When you include a module, Ruby creates an anonymous
proxy class that references that module, and inserts that proxy as the
direct superclass of the class that did the including."

Question:

Does such an anonymous proxy class get created when the class Object
includes Kernel?  If so, then Object does have a superclass, but it's an
anonymous proxy class?
