Such methods have access to the eigenclass’s instance variables, and so class << self works very nice when working with singletons (like Log or Config). If you don’t use class << self, you have to work on class variables and you can’t use the attr_* shorthands to access the singleton’s variables. -- Shot -- Smalltalk programmers do not type, they lean their heads towards their monitors, and meditate.
