  # Check for an existing method in the current class before extending.  If
  # the method already exists, then a warning is printed and the extension is
  # not added.  Otherwise the block is yielded and any definitions in the
  # block will take effect.

  # Usage:
  #
  #   class String
  #     rake_extension("xyz") do
  #       def xyz
  #         ...
  #       end
