Thoughts on this:
module Foo
def self.append_features(base)
base.extend self
end
def foo
# ...
end
end
I have done the above at times, as opposed to the alternative:
module Foo
def self.append_features(base)
base.extend ClassMethods
end
module ClassMethods
def foo
# ...
end
end
end
b/c I never liked having this non-descript module about --it feels
extraneous.
The downside of the former approach is that there is no way to ever
actually include the module’s methods, but for the purposes of the
program that’s almost certainly a YAGNI.
Any other downsides?
