Yes, the very same thought occurred to me. Set a monkey to catch a monkey!
I didn't suggest it myself, because I've been away from Ruby just long enough that I didn't remember whether one could accomplish this in pure Ruby, or if one would have to ascend up a level and do it in the interpreter.
- catch23 18y agoyeah, it's possible in pure ruby. You can do stuff to prevent monkey patching, as well as do stuff to make it easier for future monkey patchers. I prefer libraries to not do either, to make code easier to use.
