 This is not an inheritance.

 When you write

    class << obj
    end

 you access the singleton class which is associated with `obj', id *don't*
 exist an inheritance relation between this class and `obj' (except for the
 very special case `class << Object' but this is because Object is the root
 of the hierarchy)
