I make it into shorter by using definesingletonmethod.

Basically, if you use define_method, you can get closure-like behaviour around the method body, since this is defined as a block.

I suspect this will only work in Ruby 1.9.2 because of some of the restrictions for defining block arguments in earlier versions of Ruby.

I’m not 100% sure about this solution, but it certainly passes your assertion at the bottom.
