* In the descriptions of Object's methods, the parameter <i>symbol</i> refers
* to a symbol, which is either a quoted string or a Symbol (such as
* <code>:name</code>).
+ *
+ * == What's Here
+ *
+ * First, what's elsewhere. \Class \Object:
+ *
+ * - Inherits from {class BasicObject}[BasicObject.html#class-BasicObject-label-What-27s+Here].
+ * - Includes {module Kernel}[Kernel.html#module-Kernel-label-What-27s+Here].
+ *
+ * Here, class \Object provides methods for:
+ *
+ * - {Querying}[#class-Object-label-Querying]
+ * - {Instance Variables}[#class-Object-label-Instance+Variables]
+ * - {Other}[#class-Object-label-Other]
+ *
+ * === Querying
+ *
+ * - {!~}[#method-i-21~]:: Returns +true+ if +self+ does not match the given object,
+ * otherwise +false+.
+ * - {<=>}[#method-i-3C-3D-3E]:: Returns 0 if +self+ and the given object +object+
+ * are the same object, or if
+ * <tt>self == object</tt>; otherwise returns +nil+.
+ * - #===:: Implements case equality, effectively the same as calling #==.
+ * - #eql?:: Implements hash equality, effectively the same as calling #==.
+ * - #kind_of? (aliased as #is_a?):: Returns whether given argument is an ancestor
+ * of the singleton class of +self+.
+ * - #instance_of?:: Returns whether +self+ is an instance of the given class.
+ * - #instance_variable_defined?:: Returns whether the given instance variable
+ * is defined in +self+.
+ * - #method:: Returns the Method object for the given method in +self+.
+ * - #methods:: Returns an array of symbol names of public and protected methods
+ * in +self+.
+ * - #nil?:: Returns +false+. (Only +nil+ responds +true+ to method <tt>nil?</tt>.)
+ * - #object_id:: Returns an integer corresponding to +self+ that is unique
+ * for the current process
+ * - #private_methods:: Returns an array of the symbol names
+ * of the private methods in +self+.
+ * - #protected_methods:: Returns an array of the symbol names
+ * of the protected methods in +self+.
+ * - #public_method:: Returns the Method object for the given public method in +self+.
+ * - #public_methods:: Returns an array of the symbol names
+ * of the public methods in +self+.
+ * - #respond_to?:: Returns whether +self+ responds to the given method.
+ * - #singleton_class:: Returns the singleton class of +self+.
+ * - #singleton_method:: Returns the Method object for the given singleton method
+ * in +self+.
+ * - #singleton_methods:: Returns an array of the symbol names
+ * of the singleton methods in +self+.
+ *
+ * - #define_singleton_method:: Defines a singleton method in +self+
+ * for the given symbol method-name and block or proc.
+ * - #extend:: Includes the given modules in the singleton class of +self+.
+ * - #public_send:: Calls the given public method in +self+ with the given argument.
+ * - #send:: Calls the given method in +self+ with the given argument.
+ *
+ * === Instance Variables
+ *
+ * - #instance_variable_get:: Returns the value of the given instance variable
+ * in +self+, or +nil+ if the instance variable is not set.
+ * - #instance_variable_set:: Sets the value of the given instance variable in +self+
+ * to the given object.
+ * - #instance_variables:: Returns an array of the symbol names
+ * of the instance variables in +self+.
+ * - #remove_instance_variable:: Removes the named instance variable from +self+.
+ *
+ * === Other
+ *
+ * - #clone:: Returns a shallow copy of +self+, including singleton class
+ * and frozen state.
+ * - #define_singleton_method:: Defines a singleton method in +self+
+ * for the given symbol method-name and block or proc.
+ * - #display:: Prints +self+ to the given \IO stream or <tt>$stdout</tt>.
+ * - #dup:: Returns a shallow unfrozen copy of +self+.
+ * - #enum_for (aliased as #to_enum):: Returns an Enumerator for +self+
+ * using the using the given method,
+ * arguments, and block.
+ * - #extend:: Includes the given modules in the singleton class of +self+.
+ * - #freeze:: Prevents further modifications to +self+.
+ * - #hash:: Returns the integer hash value for +self+.
+ * - #inspect:: Returns a human-readable string representation of +self+.
+ * - #itself:: Returns +self+.
+ * - #public_send:: Calls the given public method in +self+ with the given argument.
+ * - #send:: Calls the given method in +self+ with the given argument.
+ * - #to_s:: Returns a string representation of +self+.
+ *
