# Given modules

Sleeps = Module.new
Domesticated = Module.new
Owned = Module.new
Barks = Module.new
Runs = Module.new
Lazy = Module.new
Fat = Module.new
# With operator (<<) returns new Module or Class with the next prepending the previous
Animal = Class.new << Eats << Sleeps
Animal.ancestors # => Sleeps, Eats, Animal, ...
# Overlays operator (>>) returns new Module or Class with the previous prepending over the next
Pet = Domesticated >> Owned >> Animal
Pet.ancestors # => Domesticated, Owned, Pet, Sleeps, Eats, Animal, ...
# Combines operator (*) returns new extended Module or Class
Dog = Pet * Barks * Runs
Dog.ancestors # => Dog, Runs, Barks, Domesticated, Owned, Pet, ...
# as base class operator (+@), returns a new class inheriting from the Module or Class
Cat = +Pet
Cat.ancestors # => Cat, Domesticated, Owned, Pet, ...
# As operator (+) returns a new extended Module or Class with the ancestors in the same particular order
Garfield = Fat + Lazy + Cat
