Subject: [ruby-core:72587] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11919] [Feedback] Passing	a module directly

Issue #11919 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Description updated
Status changed from Open to Feedback

You can write it as

~~~ruby
using Module.new {
  refine ...
  ...
}
~~~

Or without `Module.new`?

~~~ruby
using do
  refine ...
  ...
end
~~~

Feature #11919: Passing a module directly

----------------------------------------
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
~~~
