# Ruby modules, are another way of extending a classes behaviour, the class 
# ParticleSystem includes Enumerable (from ruby core) and our custom Runnable 
# module. Here we use the module Runnable to capture behaviour that can be 
# shared between different classes. Modules are also very useful for wrapping 
# imported classes (wrapped packages can then be called using convenient names).

# This example is bit complicated, because Enumerable and Forwardable are used
# to make the ParticleSystem behave as though it were an Array. This is very
# convenient and is preferred to ParticleSystem subclassing Array.
