+/**
+ * @defgroup defmethod Defining methods
+ *
+ * There are some APIs to define a method from C.
+ * These API takes a C function as a method body.
+ *
+ * ### Method body functions
+ *
+ * Method body functions must return a VALUE and
+ * can be one of the following form:
+ *
+ * #### Fixed number of parameters
+ *
+ * This form is a normal C function, excepting it takes
+ * a receiver object as the first argument.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE x, VALUE y);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### argc and argv style
+ *
+ * This form takes three parameters: argc, argv and self.
+ * self is the receiver. argc is the number of arguments.
+ * argv is a pointer to an array of the arguments.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### Ruby array style
+ *
+ * This form takes two parameters: self and args.
+ * self is the receiver. args is an Array object which
+ * contains the arguments.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE args);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Number of parameters
+ *
+ * Method defining APIs takes the number of parameters which the
+ * method will takes. This number is called argc.
+ * argc can be:
+ *
+ * - Zero or positive number.
+ * This means the method body function takes a fixed number of parameters.
+ *
+ * - `-1`.
+ * This means the method body function is "argc and argv" style.
+ *
+ * - `-2`.
+ * This means the method body function is "self and args" style.

+/**
+ * Defines an undef of a method. -- What?
+ *
+ * In ruby, there are two separate concepts called "undef" and "remove_method".
+ * The thing you imagine when you "un-define" a method is remove_method. This
+ * one on the other hand is masking of a previous method definition. Suppose
+ * for instance:
+ *
+ * ```ruby
+ * class Foo
+ * def foo
+ * end
+ * end
+ *
+ * class Bar < Foo
+ * def bar
+ * foo
+ * end
+ * end
+ *
+ * class Baz < Foo
+ * undef foo # <--- (*1)
+ * end
+ * ```
+ *
+ * This `undef foo` at `(*1)` must not eliminate `Foo#foo`, because that method
+ * is also used from `Bar#bar`. So instead of physically executing the target
+ * method, `undef` inserts a special filtering entry to the class (`Baz` this
+ * case). That entry, when called, acts as if there were no methods at all.
+ * But the original can still be accessible, via ways like `Bar#bar` above.
+ *
+ * @param[out] klass The class to insert an undef.
+ * @param[in] name Name of the undef.
+ * @exception rb_eTypeError `klass` is a non-module.
+ * @exception rb_eFrozenError `klass` is frozen.
+ * @see rb_remove_method
