class Module

  # Normally when including modules, class/module methods are not
  # extended. To achieve this behavior requires some clever
  # Ruby Karate. Instead #class_extend provides an easy to use
  # and clean solution. Simply place the extending class methods
  # in a block of the special module method #class_extend.
  #
  #   module Mix
  #     def inst_meth
  #       puts 'inst_meth'
  #     end
  #
  #     class_extend do
  #       def class_meth
  #         "Class Method!"
  #       end
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  #   class X
  #     include Mix
  #   end
  #
  #   X.class_meth  #=> "Class Method!"
  #
  # NOTE: This old #class_extension version of this method
  # did not extend the containing class automatically --it had
  # to be done by hand. With #class_extend, that is no longer
  # the case.

class Class

  # For Class, Module#class_extend is similar to class_eval.
  #
  # The alternative is to "undef_method :class_extend",
  # but this seems uneccessarily limited.
