Of course you have advantage that you edit just one object, so your solution is multithread. My change affect all threads. Remove_method versus undef_method depends on your goal. Just one note to your solution.
Remove :wait_for_message and then realias it is useles. You can just call alias and if you want cleaning, you can remove orig version ( or there is sufficient just undef ).

The difference is that I needed to patch a single object, so I used class << @obj, def, alias, remove_method.

Hmm, this is significant if T#m exists in a superclass: http://www.nach-vorne.de/2008/2/28/undef_method-remove_method/index.html
