Agreed. I would prefer that we attempt to understand a bit more of the 
context of the question.

Rant follows:

Questions like these are often the result of something like the 
DunningãàŬruger effect, where the questioner may not know enough to know 
that the question is bad and may only receive a confusing or misleading 
answer. For example:

A: "How can I get more angular velocity out of this screwdriver?"

B: "Um, just twist it harder."

A: "Ok, that isn't helping me drive this nail in."

B: *facepalm* "Oh, you should be using a hammer."

TL;DR: Why does OP want to define methods dynamically? What business 
value would this provide?
