Hello,

While investigating the setup of some cookbooks, I bumped into this line:

https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/mysql/recipes/server.rb#L20

Can someone explain me why the meta-level invocation is used here
instead of just a direct invocation?

So

::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)

instead of

include Opscode::OpenSSL::Password


Cheers,

Ringo
