That's not what I'm talking about, though I can see how you got
there.  I'm saying that it makes no sense to define a class inside a
module, and then have to include the module's namespace inside
itself.  To me, this looks needlessly redundant:

module Foo
   class Bar
   include Foo
   def bah
      thingy()
   end
end

(assuming thingy() is defined in module Foo elsewhere)

I just defined Bar inside Foo, why should I have to include it all
over again?
