I just finished writing the first spike for my Ruby CLR bridge tonight, and
I'm wondering if there might be a better (or more efficient) way to add
instance methods to a class object than this:

class Module
  def const_missing(symbol)
    obj =3D Class.new
    obj.class_eval %{
      def initialize
        ...
      end

      def method_missing(name, *params)
               ...
      end
    }
    const_set(symbol, obj)
  end
end

Thanks,
