I don't agree. What it seems you're asking for is the ability to execute
code and not have it obey the expected scope.

If I wrote this:

  module Test
    eval 'def MyMethod; puts 'hey'; end'
  end

... and it became this:

  module Test
  end

  def MyMethod
    puts 'hey'
  end

... I'd say this was unexpected. How could I then make sure MyMethod made it
into module Test? To be consistent, IMO, eval code should be the equivalent
to 'hardcoded' code, right?

Obviously, that still leaves you with your problem ... Ron's solution is one
way out -- don't know if there's another.
