Subject: [ruby-core:53184] Re: [ruby-trunk - Feature #8038][Open] Keyword `object` to be used instead of `class <<`

As an alternative, how about allowing Object#extend to take a block that would be executed with the context such that methods defined therein would become singleton methods of the object receiving #extend?

Your example would then become:

 foo = Object.new
 foo.extend do
   def bar
     # ...
   end
   def baz
     # ...
   end
 end

Sorry if this is impossible for some reason I don't know of,
Dave
