module Kernel
  #
  #  call-seq:

  #  Ruby.

  #     1.class      #=> Integer
  #     self.class   #=> Object
  #--
  # Equivalent to \c Object\#class in Ruby.

  #
  #  Produces a shallow copy of <i>obj</i>---the instance variables of
  #  <i>obj</i> are copied, but not the objects they reference.
  #  #clone copies the frozen value state of <i>obj</i>, unless the
  #  +:freeze+ keyword argument is given with a false or true value.
  #  See also the discussion under Object#dup.

  #  This method may have class-specific behavior.  If so, that
  #  behavior will be documented under the #+initialize_copy+ method of

  #  call-seq:
  #     Float(arg, exception: true)    -> float or nil
  #
  #  Returns <i>arg</i> converted to a float. Numeric types are
  #  converted directly, and with exception to String and

  #  <i>arg</i><code>.to_f</code>.  Converting a String with invalid
  #  characters will result in a ArgumentError.  Converting
  #  <code>nil</code> generates a TypeError.  Exceptions can be
  #  suppressed by passing <code>exception: false</code>.
