Module#include (no need for ClassMethods)

[Trans]

If we define Module#include as:

class Module

alias _include include

def include(*mods)
mods.each do |mod|
if mod.const_defined?Self)
extend mod::Self
# pass it along if module
if instance_of?(Module)
const_setSelf, Module.new) unless const_defined?Self)
const_getSelf).sendinclude, mod::Self)
end
end
end
_include(*mods)
end

end

Example:

module X
def x; "x"; end

module Self
def q; "q"; end
end
end

class C
include X
end

C.q #=> "q"

Benefits:

* Documents well in RDoc
* Fairly concise and clear
* Self module fits in well with "class << self"
* No callbacks used.

Clever. It doesn't seem to grok class vars inside of ::Self (?),
but class/module_eval works. Weird since class methods work without
the eval.
