Not really, I want to create a new method on the
object, after it's created, but not on the class. As
the previous example of

s = "Testing"
class <<s
   def says
      print "s says: ", self, "\n"
   end
end

where it creates the method (and all that metaclass
stuff).

At this point just, just s have the "says" method, not
the class String or any other String object that was
created or will be created. Using 

s.class.class_eval %q(def x.says() puts "x says:"+self
end)

have the same effect, but what I like to know if there
is another way to do that. I mean, create a method on
a specific object (on this case, just "s"), not on the
class.

Best regards,
