[ruby-core:112572] [Ruby master Feature#19450] Is there an official way to set a class name without setting a constant?

24 Feb 2023

      Issue #19450 has been updated by matheusrich (Matheus Richard).

Semi-related (maybe it should be a separate issue?) but assigning a class to a constant via rightward assignment results in `NameError`

``` ruby
Class.new => Klass
# uninitialized constant Klass (NameError)
```

This is the best I could come up with:

```ruby
klass = Class.new

Object.const_set("Klass", klass)
Object.send(:remove_const, "Klass")

puts klass.new
# => #<Klass:0x0000000100a9d688>
```

Can we do better?

What about something like:

```ruby
Class.new(name: "Klass")
```

or

```ruby
Class.new do
  def self.name
    "Klass"
  end
end
```

etc
