[ruby-core:105846] [Ruby master Feature#11919] Passing a module directly

Issue #11919 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


I guess we need to persuade matz then: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14344#note-15 (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16241#note-5 has some more context)

Feature #11919: Passing a module directly 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11919#change-94384

* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Refinement requires a named module:

~~~ruby
module MyRefinement
  refine ...
  ...
end

using MyRefinement
~~~

but often (but not always), refinements are called by the `using` command only in once in a single file, and should not need to be named in such case. Also, the purpose of refinement is to not pollute classes with methods. Necessity to define a module and polluting the name space looks to me to go against this idea.

I would like to do:

~~~ruby
using Module.new do
  refine ...
  ...
end
~~~
