I'm not sure what you want to do exactly.

This is what `EnvUtil#labeled_class` does.

This is the best I could come up with:

```ruby
klass = Class.new

Object.const_set("Klass", klass)
Object.send(:remove_const, "Klass")

puts klass.new
# => #<Klass:0x0000000100a9d688>
```

Can we do better?

What about something like:

```ruby
Class.new(name: "Klass")
```

or

```ruby
Class.new do
  def self.name
    "Klass"
  end
end
```

etc
