Subject: [ruby-core:119024] [Ruby master Feature#20712] module should return newly defined module

Issue #20712 has been updated by esad (Esad Hajdarevic).


Ok I was too quick on this one. module keyword returns last expression in the block, so just ending module declaration with self works:

```
using(module Foo
  refine ...
  self
end)
```
so this request can be closed

Feature #20712: module should return newly defined module
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20712#change-109601

* Author: esad (Esad Hajdarevic)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
Currently module keyword returns nil after defining a new module:

```
x = module Foo
end
# x is nil
```

It would be more consistent with `Module.new` if module keyword returned the newly defined module. Then we could do:

```
using(module Foo
  refine ...
end)
```

instead of

```
module Foo
end
using Foo
```
