Used internally to support `instance_exec` in Ruby 1.8.6.

based on Bounded Spec InstanceExec (Mauricio Fernandez) eigenclass.org/hiki/bounded+space+instance_exec

  • uses singleton_class instead of global InstanceExecHelper module

  • this keeps it scoped to classes/modules that include this module

  • only necessary for ruby 1.8.6
