module Mutant
  # A method object for inserting an AST into the Rubinius VM
  #
  # The idea is to split the steps for a mutation into documented
  # methods. Also subclasses can override the steps. Also passing
  # around the root node is not needed with a method object.
  #
  # As the initializer does the work there is no need for the
  # instances of this class to be used outside of this class, hence
  # the Loader.new method is private and the Loader.run method
  # returns self.
