Subject: Re: Writing a method that's added to both Fixnum and Bignum

Or if you don't want to put it in Integer put your method into a module and
include it into Fixnum and Bignum:

module MyCode
  def nice_method
    p "hello"
  end
end

class Fixnum
  include MyCode
end

class Bignum
  include MyCode
end
