+/**
+ * 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.
