Well, you cannot have all at once. If you don't want to change the 
source code of Ruby, you have to make compromises. Either the calling 
syntax will change, or you'll have to prepend the object name.

But like I already said, this whole idea is rather strange. What's the 
actual use case? Isn't there a better solution that doesn't involve 
messing with core functionalities of the language? If you find yourself 
using a lot of global methods, I think there's generally something 
wrong.
