Remove all class methods via remove_method

Hi,

how do I remove all my class methods like in the following example? --

class Parent
class << self
  def class_stuff
    puts "Stuff from my class"
  end
end
end

class Child < Parent
  # remove all the class methods;
  # should be done automatically with "...methods.each { |m|
remove_method(m) }"-like construct
end

Many thanks in advance.

dodeantn,
This will do it but I would prefer a better way..

class Parent
  (class << self; self; end).send(:remove_method, :class_stuff)
end

Please remember that with great power comes great responsibility.. :slight_smile:
messing with class methods is a real pain in 1.8 but maybe I am missing
the boat..
