Subject: define_class and get_class

Methods can be defined and called dynamically using define_method and
send/method respectively. Shouldn't there be similar alternatives for
class creation and invocation? Maybe like this:

name = "A"
define_class(name) do
   def say_hi
     p "hi"
   end
   .
   .
end
get_class(name).new.say_hi


I would like the above syntax better than the current way of doing it.

name = "A"
eval "class #{name}; end"
klass = Object.const_get(name)
klass.class_eval do
   def say_hi
     p "hi"
   end
   .
   .
end
klass.new.say_hi
