Subject: method_added/define_method infinite loop

What's the best way to avoid the classic method_added/define_method
infinite loop?

  class X
    def self.method_added(name)
      p name
      define_method(name)
         # do something else
      end
    end

     def foo; end
  end

This will, of course, print "foo" forever.

As an aside, anyone else think method_added should also receive a
block of the method definition? E.g. this would be a "push" (less the
infinite loop issue):

    def self.method_added(name, &block)
      define_method(name, &block)
    end

Thanks!
T.
