# = Main as Module
#
# Main, ie. the top-level object, is not fully in-sync with
# Module. So, certain methods like #define_method do not work.
# This library fixes this.
#
# Techinally it is this authors opinion that the top-level object
# most likely would be better-off as a self-extended module, and
# methods defined in it do not automatically get added to the
# Object class.
#
# On the other hand. It is probably best to never use the toplevel
# except as a jumping in point to youre own namespace.
#
# Note that none of this would be needed if Main were just a self extended
# module.
