/**
* @defgroup defmethod Defining methods
*
* There are some APIs to define a method from C.
* These API takes a C function as a method body.
*
* ### Method body functions
*
* Method body functions must return a VALUE and
* can be one of the following form:
*
* #### Fixed number of parameters
*
* This form is a normal C function, excepting it takes
* a receiver object as the first argument.
*
* ```CXX
* static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE x, VALUE y);
* ```
*
* #### argc and argv style
*
* This form takes three parameters: argc, argv and self.
* self is the receiver. argc is the number of arguments.
* argv is a pointer to an array of the arguments.
*
* ```CXX
* static VALUE my_method(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self);
* ```
*
* #### Ruby array style
*
* This form takes two parameters: self and args.
* self is the receiver. args is an Array object which
* contains the arguments.
*
* ```CXX
* static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE args);
* ```
*
* ### Number of parameters
*
* Method defining APIs takes the number of parameters which the
* method will takes. This number is called argc.
* argc can be:
*
* - Zero or positive number.
* This means the method body function takes a fixed number of parameters.
*
* - `-1`.
* This means the method body function is "argc and argv" style.
*
* - `-2`.
* This means the method body function is "self and args" style.

/**
* Defines an undef of a method. -- What?
*
* In ruby, there are two separate concepts called "undef" and "remove_method".
* The thing you imagine when you "un-define" a method is remove_method. This
* one on the other hand is masking of a previous method definition. Suppose
* for instance:
*
* ```ruby
* class Foo
* def foo
* end
* end
*
* class Bar < Foo
* def bar
* foo
* end
* end
*
* class Baz < Foo
* undef foo # <--- (*1)
* end
* ```
*
* This `undef foo` at `(*1)` must not eliminate `Foo#foo`, because that method
* is also used from `Bar#bar`. So instead of physically executing the target
* method, `undef` inserts a special filtering entry to the class (`Baz` this
* case). That entry, when called, acts as if there were no methods at all.
* But the original can still be accessible, via ways like `Bar#bar` above.
*
* @param[out] klass The class to insert an undef.
* @param[in] name Name of the undef.
* @exception rb_eTypeError `klass` is a non-module.
* @exception rb_eFrozenError `klass` is frozen.
* @see rb_remove_method
