also see Smalltalk selector namespaces http://www.smalltalksystems.com/publications/subsys.pdf which have also been proposed for Ruby http://www.sapphire-lang.org/wiki/1/Selector_namespaces Because Smalltalk selectors selectors (ie, names) can operationally be any object, sometimes newly instantiated objects are used when a guaranteed unique method selector is needed for system purposes.
