I'm interested in this discussion, including Facets' interpretation.  I just created #8046

I propose to introduce a new keyword (({object})) and to use it instead of the mysterious (({class <<})):

  object foo
    def bar
      # ...
    end
    def baz
      # ...
    end
  end

instead of

  foo = Object.new
  class << foo
    def bar
      # ...
    end
    def baz
      # ...
    end
  end
=end
