      # We want namespace to be any object, and in order to do that, Rink will call namespace#binding.
      # But by default, the namespace should be TOPLEVEL_BINDING. If we set @namespace to this,
      # Rink will call TOPLEVEL_BINDING#binding, which is an error. So instead we'll create a singleton
      # object and override #binding on that object to return TOPLEVEL_BINDING. Effectively, that
      # singleton object becomes (more-or-less) a proxy into the toplevel object. (Is there a better way?)
