Yes, that's why I said similar things...

Class#initialize would take (superclass=Object,&proc) as a parameter, that
is, there'd be a default value. For accessing an already existing class,
you'd have to use Class#class_eval or Module#module_eval...

Oh, and:

class << foo; ... end

could change to:

foo.singleton_eval { ... }
