 Well, I see what you want to do, you even don't need to duplicate the
 subtree but for me this just sound as a "bricolage" that I can accept only
 in my sources (see fl.c)

 For example, you must modify more than just NODE_DEFN and NODE_DEFS

   class A; def a() @_m = 12; end end
   a = A.new
   a.a
   a.instance_eval do
      p @_m
   end
