Are you saying there's some kind of weird scope shift up? If you run version
two (with eval) and create a child class and a grandchild class, it looks
like it creates the grandchild within Fil, not within Fil's child. The
class_eval version creates it so that Fil's child is within Fil and Fil's
grandchild is within Fil's child. At least... that's what's baffling to ME
about this. Maybe Carl can provide an example.

If I'm guessing totally wrong, what's going on, exactly, with the scope
here?
