Subject: [ruby-core:112753] [Ruby master Feature#19450] Is there an official way to set a class name without setting a constant?

Issue #19450 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams).


Sorry @mame, I did not have a concrete proposal when I originally suggested it and this was more of a discussion to get feedback. I've updated the dev meeting proposal with specific details.

Feature #19450: Is there an official way to set a class name without setting a constant?

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
