What actually is `using`?

gistfile1.md

A search for 'using' on http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/index.html returns, well, nothing. So, what is it?

2.0.0p0 :001 > method(:using)
=> #<Method: main.using> 
2.0.0p0 :002 > _.source_location
=> nil

So it's some kind of method on main with no source location. Hmm. Well, the changelog mentions ri ruby:syntax. Let's try that.

~/code/200-test> ri ruby:syntax | cat
= Pages in ruby core

Right. OK. Let's have a look online.

I still have no idea.
