Break argument into its constituent class or module names, an optional method type, and a method name

Methods

full_class_name   new  

Public Class methods

new(arg)

arg may be

  1. A class or module name (optionally qualified with other class or module names (Kernel, File::Stat etc)
  2. A method name
  3. A method name qualified by a optionally fully qualified class or module name

We‘re fairly casual about delimiters: folks can say Kernel::puts, Kernel.puts, or Kernel\puts for example. There‘s one exception: if you say IO::read, we look for a class method, but if you say IO.read, we look for an instance method

Public Instance methods

full_class_name()

Return the full class name (with ’::’ between the components) or "" if there‘s no class name
