But it allows some very nice things, like having ways of creating
classes, assign them to constants and have them work as a regularly
defined class very easily:

ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 > TestClass = Struct.new :id
 => TestClass
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :004 > TestClass.name
 => "TestClass"

(Struct.new returns a class)
