Now, if class A pushed most of its behavior into a module, you could

But, it didnt, so you are stuck with this stuff. I call it
clonepatching. The downside to this approach is if you are
attempting to discover where B's methods are defined using
reflection.. it cannot really express its relationship to A (AFAIK,
please correct me if you have a solution to this dilemma.)
Well played, my friend. I don't see any clear solution around that.
I wonder if you could inherit from X and do some craziness to include
A's functions as a module, but that'd probably be way uglier than the
module approach. Score one for mixins. Although despite this I still
feel like make_resourceful's syntax is a DSL in search of a domain.
