Overview

When you include a module in Ruby, it uses inheritance to model the relationship with the included module. This is how Ruby achieves multiple inheritance. However, to avoid destroying the tree shape of the inheritance hierarchy, when you include a module, it is copied and inserted between the current module/class and its superclass. It is marked as a T_ICLASS instead of a T_CLASS because it is an "internal", invisible class: it shouldn't show up when you use #superclass.

Yes, that means even modules have superclasses. There's just no method to expose them because a module only ever has a null superclass or a copied-module superclass.

Redefined because otherwise it'll get delegated. Meh. TODO(adgar): Find a better solution than just copy-pasting this method.
