Description:

== Summary
selectively include module methods

== Usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'module-import'

module Foo
def foo; 'foo' end
def bar; 'bar' end
end

class Importer
import Foo, :bar
end
Importer.new.bar # => 'bar'
Importer.new.foo # => # NoMethodError

class Importer
import Foo, :not_defined # => #not_defined not found in Foo (ImportError)
end


Giving no methods (or all methods) should behave the same as a normal include

class Importer2
import Foo # same as import Foo, :foo, :bar
end
Importer2.new.bar # => 'bar'
Importer2.new.foo # => 'foo'

However, there is one important difference. New changes in the included module will not effect the class.
module Foo
undef_method :foo
def bar; fail end
end
Importer2.new.bar # => 'bar'
Importer2.new.foo # => 'foo'

== Install
gem install module-import

== Source
=== browser
http://github.com/gregwebs/module-import/tree/master

=== repository
git clone git://github.com/gregwebs/module-import.git

== Homepage
http://gregweber.info/projects/module-import.html

== RDoc documentation
included with the gem

== Notes
=== Testing
4:1 test:code ratio, I think I have all the corner cases covered. In particular, this does not break inheritance and everything works the same for importing into a module as it does for importing into class.

=== Implementation
Includes a duplicate of the module that has methods removed
