Yes, it does.  However, we can choose another word.

I prefer singleton_class than eigenclass.  I suppose that "singleton
class" is not so confusing with a class which implements the Singleton
pattern because the word singleton remind Ruby users of singleton
methods rather than the Singleton pattern.
