I was using "dynamic" to mean that its dynamically "bound" (applies) to the default definee at the point of invocation, not the lexically determined currently open class. It's true that the receiver does not matter at all (I initially thought it had to self):

```ruby
module Mod1
  class Class1

  end

  def self.lookup_class
    Class1
  end

  lookup_class.class_eval do

    def foo1
      self
    end

    Module.new.send(:private)

    def foo2
      self
    end

  end
  
  c1 = Class1.new
  c1.foo1.foo2 rescue puts $!.inspect


end
```

Please clarify how you're using dynamic vs lexical?

1. it can't be called from another method
2. the receiver must be self
3. since refinements are lexically scoped the self receiver must match the currently open class

#3 is particularly curious

```ruby
module Refinement
  refine String do
    def refined?
      true
    end
  end
end

module Foo
  def self.refined?
    ''.refined? rescue false
  end
end


module Bar
  def self.refined?
    ''.refined? rescue false
  end
  Foo.module_eval do
    using Refinement

  end
end

p Foo.refined? #false
```

The module_eval `#using` call does not raise (it's not from a method and the receiver is self), but evidently because currently open class does not match self, it does not do anything. So it should at least raise.

So `#using`, though a method, does not function as a method, which is misleading.
