Yes, but what if you add a 'def instance_method1' to M?    Class C
doesn't get it via either approach you cite; it shows up as a class method
instead.  All of this circumlocution has been to allow a module to
define BOTH class AND instance methods.

Thanks to all.  The :append_features solution was giving me trouble
with modules that included other modules; :included may help there.
