+# 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''.
