Wow, what a rush of information, eg:

"define_method" is what I was missing.

I'm still curious about the most common practice, if there is one,
specifically about creating little "mini-languages" that can be used
inside class definitions.  (Yes, I'm wondering about Rails.)  My example
with explicit class methods now smells pretty bad to me, for example.
Could modules (using "define_method" and other magic) "extended" into
class objects be considered the norm?  This is a more vague question,
but I'm putting it out FWIW.

Anyway, thanks to all for the info so far.
