          In essence, extend_object is the method that does the extending. You can override it to for example create a typecheck before extend happens:



          module Foo
          def self.extend_object(obj)
          raise(TypeError, "No strings!") if obj.is_a?(String)
          super # need to call super or object
          # won't be extended
          end

          def self.extended(obj)
          puts "#{obj.inspect} was extended with #{self}"
          end
          end

          1.extend(Foo)
          "1".extend(Foo) # raises TypeError: No strings!
