This may be a corner case, but if you're going to define #my at the 
instance level, it should probably be based on the 
(singleton|eigen)class of the instance and not the "birth" class:

class Object
   def my
     self.class
     #class << self; self; end
   end
end

class Foo
   C = 2
end

x = Foo.new
class << x
   X = 3
end

p x.my::C
p x.my::X

Now try it with the alternative!
