The result of using a refinement -- from post http://ruby.zigzo.com/2017/10/21/refinements-fancy-monkey/
# Our code calling `to_s` on an Integer has been refined
puts CrazyInteger.crazy_string(2)
# => "TWO, ALWAYS TWO!!!!"
puts CrazyInteger.crazy_string(3)
# => "TWO, ALWAYS TWO!!!!"
# Regular calls to Integer.to_s are still safe!
puts 1.to_s
# => "1"
puts 2.to_s
# => "2"
