Subject: class << self


rubyists-

can someone please confirm that this

  class Foo
    class << self
      def bar
       self
      end
    end
  end

  class Bar < Foo
  end

  puts Foo.bar 	# >> Foo
  puts Bar.bar 	# >> Bar

is the correct way to code an inheritable class method?

why would

  def Foo.foo
    'foo'
  end

NOT be inherited in this fashion?  i understand that the methods are statically
tied to the Foo class object in this case... but it seems like the interpreter
should work around this based on pols?
