 *  Equality --- At the <code>Object</code> level, <code>==</code> returns
 *  <code>true</code> only if +obj+ and +other+ are the same object.
 *  Typically, this method is overridden in descendant classes to provide
 *  class-specific meaning.
 *
 *  Unlike <code>==</code>, the <code>equal?</code> method should never be
 *  overridden by subclasses as it is used to determine object identity
 *  (that is, <code>a.equal?(b)</code> if and only if <code>a</code> is the
 *  same object as <code>b</code>):

 *  The <code>eql?</code> method returns <code>true</code> if +obj+ and
 *  +other+ refer to the same hash key.  This is used by Hash to test members
 *  for equality.  For objects of class <code>Object</code>, <code>eql?</code>
 *  is synonymous with <code>==</code>.  Subclasses normally continue this
 *  tradition by aliasing <code>eql?</code> to their overridden <code>==</code>
 *  method, but there are exceptions.  <code>Numeric</code> types, for
 *  example, perform type conversion across <code>==</code>, but not across
 *  <code>eql?</code>, so:

 *  Document-class: Class
 *
 *  Classes in Ruby are first-class objects---each is an instance of

 *
 *  Typically, you create a new class by using:
 *
 *    class Name
 *     # some code describing the class behavior
 *    end
 *
 *  When a new class is created, an object of type Class is initialized and
 *  assigned to a global constant (<code>Name</code> in this case).
 *
 *  When <code>Name.new</code> is called to create a new object, the
 *  <code>new</code> method in <code>Class</code> is run by default.
 *  This can be demonstrated by overriding <code>new</code> in
 *  <code>Class</code>:
 *
 *     class Class
 *       alias old_new new
 *       def new(*args)
 *         print "Creating a new ", self.name, "\n"

 */

/*  Document-class: BasicObject
 *
 *  BasicObject is the parent class of all classes in Ruby.  It's an explicit
 *  blank class.
 *
 *  BasicObject can be used for creating object hierarchies independent of
 *  Ruby's object hierarchy, proxy objects like the Delegator class, or other
 *  uses where namespace pollution from Ruby's methods and classes must be
 *  avoided.
 *
 *  To avoid polluting BasicObject for other users an appropriately named
 *  subclass of BasicObject should be created instead of directly modifying
 *  BasicObject:
 *
 *    class MyObjectSystem < BasicObject
 *    end
 *
 *  BasicObject does not include Kernel (for methods like +puts+) and
 *  BasicObject is outside of the namespace of the standard library so common
 *  classes will not be found without using a full class path.
 *
 *  A variety of strategies can be used to provide useful portions of the
 *  standard library to subclasses of BasicObject.  A subclass could
 *  <code>include Kernel</code> to obtain +puts+, +exit+, etc.  A custom
 *  Kernel-like module could be created and included or delegation can be used
 *  via #method_missing:
 *
 *    class MyObjectSystem < BasicObject
 *      DELEGATE = [:puts, :p]
 *
 *      def method_missing(name, *args, &block)
 *        super unless DELEGATE.include? name
 *        ::Kernel.send(name, *args, &block)
 *      end
 *
 *      def respond_to_missing?(name, include_private = false)
 *        DELEGATE.include?(name) or super
 *      end
 *    end
 *
 *  Access to classes and modules from the Ruby standard library can be
 *  obtained in a BasicObject subclass by referencing the desired constant
 *  from the root like <code>::File</code> or <code>::Enumerator</code>.
 *  Like #method_missing, #const_missing can be used to delegate constant
 *  lookup to +Object+:
 *
 *    class MyObjectSystem < BasicObject
 *      def self.const_missing(name)
 *        ::Object.const_get(name)
 *      end
 *    end
 */

/*  Document-class: Object
 *
 *  Object is the default root of all Ruby objects.  Object inherits from
 *  BasicObject which allows creating alternate object hierarchies.  Methods
 *  on Object are available to all classes unless explicitly overridden.
 *
 *  Object mixes in the Kernel module, making the built-in kernel functions
 *  globally accessible.  Although the instance methods of Object are defined
 *  by the Kernel module, we have chosen to document them here for clarity.
 *
 *  When referencing constants in classes inheriting from Object you do not
 *  need to use the full namespace.  For example, referencing +File+ inside
 *  +YourClass+ will find the top-level File class.
 *
 *  In the descriptions of Object's methods, the parameter <i>symbol</i> refers
 *  to a symbol, which is either a quoted string or a Symbol (such as
 *  <code>:name</code>).
