 I am trying to create a module that overrides #alias_method so I can delay
 the method aliasing until a later time, but when I subclass Module and add
 methods I cannot call the method. Here is a reduction:

 {{{
 class Foo < Module
   def test
     puts 'lol'
   end
 end

 foo = Foo.new

 foo.test # => NoMethodError: private method
 foo.instance_eval { test } # => ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments
 foo.module_eval { test } # => ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments
 }}}

 The same code works on CRuby in all cases, even though that seems weird.
