I was thinking that when a lot of work must be done on an object
it would be nice to alter the search path for methods without a
receiver.
a.do_this
a.do_that
a.do_the_other
could be perhaps written as:
with a do
do_this
do_that
do_the_other
end
However I realised you get this, pretty well, with:
class << a
def work_hard
do_this
do_that
do_the_other
end
end
a.work_hard
so I wouldn't need such a construct. However, if I do this for many
objects, I end up creating lots of singleton classes, that have no name.
So, to be really dynamic about this, I need to be able to destroy them
as well as create them. Since they have no name, how can I do that?
