Subject: [ruby-talk:16801] rb_define_class() vs Class.new()

Hi,

From C, rb_define_class() defines a named class, however, on the Ruby
side there is no equivalent function: Class.new() accepts no string
and can only generate anonymous classes. This looks inconsistent to
me.

Perhaps there are more functions in C that have no counterpart in Ruby
itself?

Bye,
Kero.

PS: Just subscribed to this list & need to test how it works, so I
didn't check whether this question has been asked a zillion times
before. Sorry.
