This is one way. There are several.
I am assuming you mean that only that particular instance should have
this method, and not other instances of the same class.

metaclass = class << self;self;end
sym = :some_name_you_generated
metaclass.send :alias_method, sym, :each

More traditionally, this is usually a good place to consider using
inheritance. :)
