Why is this cause an infinite loop?

class X
def m; "m"; end
end

class Y < X
def self.method_added(sym)
alias_method("__#{sym}", sym)
remove_method(sym)
end
end

class Y
def m; m; end
end

Y.new.__m

Y.new.__m

Tom, see above. Creating an alias triggers method_added.

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0p sym

Dooh!

Thanks, Pit.

return if /^__/ === sym.to_s

But you probably figured that out by yourself .
