# The Singleton module implements the Singleton pattern.
#
-# Usage:
+# == Usage
+#
+# To use Singleton, include the module in your class.
+#
# class Klass
# include Singleton
# # ...
# end
#
-# * this ensures that only one instance of Klass lets call it
-# ``the instance'' can be created.
+# This ensures that only one instance of Klass can be created.
+#
+# a,b = Klass.instance, Klass.instance
#
-# a,b = Klass.instance, Klass.instance
-# a == b # => true
-# a.new # NoMethodError - new is private ...
+# a == b
+# # => true
#
-# * ``The instance'' is created at instanciation time, in other words
-# the first call of Klass.instance(), thus
+# Klass.new
+# # => NoMethodError - new is private ...
#
-# class OtherKlass
+# The instance is created at upon the first call of Klass.instance().
+#
+# class OtherKlass
# include Singleton
# # ...
-# end
-# ObjectSpace.each_object(OtherKlass){} # => 0.
+# end
#
-# * This behavior is preserved under inheritance and cloning.
+# ObjectSpace.each_object(OtherKlass){}
+# # => 0
#
+# OtherKlass.instance
+# ObjectSpace.each_object(OtherKlass){}
+# # => 1
#
-# This is achieved by marking
-# * Klass.new and Klass.allocate - as private
-# * removing #clone and #dup and modifying
-# * Klass.inherited(sub_klass) and Klass.clone() -
-# to ensure that the Singleton pattern is properly
-# inherited and cloned.
#
-# In addition Klass is providing the additional class methods
-# * Klass.instance() - returning ``the instance''. After a successful
-# self modifying instanciating first call the method body is a simple
-# def Klass.instance()
-# return @__instance__
-# end
-# * Klass._load(str) - calls instance()
-# * Klass._instanciate?() - 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 instanciating thread.
+# This behavior is preserved under inheritance and cloning.
+#
+# == Implementation
+#
+# This above is achieved by:
+#
+# * Making Klass.new and Klass.allocate private.
+#
+# * Overriding Klass.inherited(sub_klass) and Klass.clone() to ensure that the
+# Singleton properties are kept when inherited and cloned.
+#
+# * Providing the Klass.instance() method that returns the same object each
+# time it is called.
+#
+# * Overriding Klass._load(str) to call Klass.instance().
+#
+# * Overriding Klass#clone and Klass#dup to raise TypeErrors to prevent
+# cloning or duping.
+#
+# == Singleton and Marshal
+#
+# By default Singleton's #_dump(depth) returns the empty string. Marshalling by
+# default will strip state information, e.g. instance variables from the instance.
+# Classes using Singleton can provide custom _load(str) and _dump(depth) methods
+# to retain some of the previous state of the instance.
+#
+# require 'singleton'
+#
+# class Example
+# include Singleton
+# attr_accessor :keep, :strip
+# def _dump(depth)
+# # this strips the @strip information from the instance
+# Marshal.dump(@keep, depth)
+# end
+#
+# def self._load(str)
+# instance.keep = Marshal.load(str)
+# instance
+# end
+# end
+#
+# a = Example.instance
+# a.keep = "keep this"
+# a.strip = "get rid of this"
+#
+# stored_state = Marshal.dump(a)
+#
+# a.keep = nil
+# a.strip = nil
+# b = Marshal.load(stored_state)
+# p a == b # => true
+# p a.keep # => "keep this"
+# p a.strip # => nil
#
-# The sole instance method of Singleton is
-# * _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''.
