I opt for "defining_class", because this precisely states what it 
returns.  Some might find it a bit much of typing but I think we have 
much worse cases in Ruby (attr_accessor for example, which is much more 
often used).  If someone can come up with an equally clear name which is 
shorter, that's fine with me.

Kind regards
