Subject: Re: Ruby class hierarchy confusion

If you have these classes defined:

class Parent
end

class A < Parent
end

Here is what the basic hierarchy looks like:

             +--------+     +--------+
             | Basic  |     | Basic  |
             | Object |     | Object |
             |        |     |        |
             +--------+     +--------+
                 ^              ^
                 |              |
                 |              |
             +--------+     +--------+
             |        |     |        |
             | Object |     | Object |
             |        |     |        |
             +--------+     +--------+
                 ^              ^
                 |              |
                 |              |
             +--------+     +--------+
             |        |     |        |
             | Parent |     | Module |
             |        |     |        |
             +--------+     +--------+
                 ^               ^
                 |               |
                 |               |
              +-----+        +-------+
a =   ----->  |  A  | -----> | Class |
A.new         |     |        |       |
              +-----+        +-------+

Think about going from an object to the right into its class, and then
up the hierarchy,
