# The Singleton module implements the Singleton pattern.
#
# Usage:
#    class Klass
#       include Singleton
#       # ...
#    end
#
# *  this ensures that only one instance of Klass lets call it
#    ``the instance'' can be created.
#
#    a,b  = Klass.instance, Klass.instance
#    a == b   # => true
#    a.new    #  NoMethodError - new is private ...
#
# *  ``The instance'' is created at instantiation time, in other
#    words the first call of Klass.instance(), thus
#
#      class OtherKlass
#        include Singleton
#        # ...
#      end
#      ObjectSpace.each_object(OtherKlass){} # => 0.
#
# *  This behavior is preserved under inheritance and cloning.
#
#
#
# This is achieved by marking
# *  Klass.new and Klass.allocate - as private
#
# Providing (or modifying) the class methods
# *  Klass.inherited(sub_klass) and Klass.clone()  -
#    to ensure that the Singleton pattern is properly
#    inherited and cloned.
#
# *  Klass.instance()  -  returning ``the instance''. After a
#    successful self modifying (normally the first) call the
#    method body is a simple:
#
#       def Klass.instance()
#         return @__instance__
#       end
#
# *  Klass._load(str)  -  calling Klass.instance()
#
# *  Klass._instantiate?()  -  returning ``the instance'' or
#    nil. This hook method puts a second (or nth) thread calling
#    Klass.instance() on a waiting loop. The return value
#    signifies the successful completion or premature termination
#    of the first, or more generally, current "instantiation thread".
#
#
# The instance method of Singleton are
# * clone and dup - raising TypeErrors to prevent cloning or duping
#
# *  _dump(depth) - returning the empty string.  Marshalling strips
#    by default all state information, e.g. instance variables and
#    taint state, from ``the instance''.  Providing custom _load(str)
#    and _dump(depth) hooks allows the (partially) resurrections of
#    a previous state of ``the instance''.
