I can call it using Timeout::timeout. I thought I'd already tried that, but I probably thought I did and got distracted. Anyway, timeout seems fine because it's wrapped in its own module. It DOES have one of those "private Object method" type of globals though, and that's what is documented. I guess it's up to the developers to put things in Kernel to make them properly global?
