Subject: [ruby-core:105865] [Ruby master Feature#11919] Passing a module directly

Issue #11919 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).


@jeremyevans0 may I ask why you closed this? Matz has not rejected this idea. He only rejected `refine X do` (#14344) because `refine` should not have such different behavior for class vs module. Although there's also `refining X do` (#16241) which may be a better choice since it has Matz' pre-approval.

----------------------------------------
Feature #11919: Passing a module directly 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11919#change-94403

* Author: sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)
* Status: Rejected
* 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
~~~
