DRb and DRbUndumped only for one method?

Hello,

Is it possible to make only one method of a class undumpable? I.e
something like
Class Foo
def bar
end
def foobar
  include(DRbMethodUndumped)
end
end

No...

I.e
something like
Class Foo
def bar
end
def foobar
  include(DRbMethodUndumped)
end
end

Only objects can be undumpable, not methods. You *can* make the object that is returned by a method undumpable:

class X
   def meth
  obj = do_stuff
  obj.include DRbUndumped
     return obj
   end
end

     Ah! Of course. Except you have to use obj.extend.
     Thanks for your guidance Eric.

Doh! I typed exactly 'extend' when testing...
