Then whenever you want to use the thread singleton in a given thread
use the thread_singleton function
e.g.:
Thread.start do
thread_singleton.send_some_message
end
Thread.start do
thread_singleton.send_other_message # a different singleton
for this thread than the other thread, but will be the same for the
duration of this thread
end
etc.
As far as your Name.method question, there’s no particular reason not
to… If you want you can implement a singleton like that.
