Sorry -- it's wrong. I think I've remembered what I meant to write.
This time, let's go all out and try the code! :-)

object = Object.new
class << object
   attr_accessor :params
end
object.params = {}

def object.[]=(key,value)
   @params[key] = value
end

object[1] = 2

p object.params   # { 1 => 2 }

Too bad -- I kind of liked my garbled rubbish version :-)
