Well, I think the problem here is that when you use attr_accessor at
the class level, it re-writes name to point at an ivar.   Since
Rubinius stores the name in an ivar in the first place, this causes a
clash (because it expects @name to be the real name of the module).

Do you still think that the code I showed before should work, considering this?
