Is it possible to make an alias for a module in Ruby?
Question: In Python, you can set an alias for a module with 'as':

    
    
    import mymodule as mm
    

But I can't seem to find an equivalent for ruby. I know that you can `include`
rather than `require` a module, but this risks namespace collisions. Is there
any equivalent to Python module aliases?


Answer: Modules in Ruby aren't really that special, so you can just assign them to
another constant:

    
    
    [4] (pry) main: 0> module TestModule
    [4] (pry) main: 0*   def self.foo
    [4] (pry) main: 0*     "test"
    [4] (pry) main: 0*   end  
    [4] (pry) main: 0* end  
    => nil
    [5] (pry) main: 0> tm = TestModule
    => TestModule
    [6] (pry) main: 0> tm.foo
    => "test"
