You can achieve it by "method transplanting".

~~~ruby
class Foo
  define_method(:any?, Enumerable.instance_method(:any?))
end
~~~

Wrapper method like `Module#mix` may help you.

On IRC someone asked a nice question:


> \<arup_r\> If I write `class Foo; include Enumerable; end` This code include all methods from `Enumerable`. But suppose I want to include `#all?`, `#any?` .. What's the way to include only required methods ?


This prompted me to write this.

What if ruby would allow us to include just singular methods?

Something like:

~~~ruby
include Enumerable::any?
~~~

And so forth, so that we could cherry-pick what we want.

This is already possible in some projects, like facets.

But I think they solve it by splitting up the whole
stuff into individual files, and then including 
this.

I think it would be nicer if include itself would
support a scope-mechanic.
