Possible for a module included somewhere to override a class's instance method?

hack.rb

class Base
  def call
    'call'
  end
end

p Base.new.call  #=> "call"


# Monkeypatching "works" but doesn't provide access to #super
class Base
  def call
    'monkeypatched'
  end
end

p Base.new.call  #=> "monkeypatched"

# This is the spirit of what I'd like, but methods defined on the class will be
# preferred over those in ancestors.
module Override
  def call
    [ 'overridden', super ]
  end
end

class Base
  include Override
end

p Base.new.call  #=> "monkeypatched"



# This works but I don't have access to the class instances to apply this method.
instance = Base.new
class << instance
  def call
    [ 'overridden', super ]
  end
end
p instance.call  #=> ["overridden", "monkeypatched"]

can you alias the existing method?

Base.class_eval{
  alias_method :old_call, :call
  def call
    ['aliased', old_call]
  end
}

p Base.new.call

Or is there a reason that wouldn't work for you?

No you're right. I forgot to include that in my gist. That works too but I was hoping for a better approach that provides access to #super and avoids the alias_method_chain nightmare.
