Feature #20428: Ability to reference current class/module in lexical scope
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20428

----------------------------------------
Hello! As far as I know, there is no way to reference the current `Class` or `Module` one is inside of lexically in Ruby. Would it make sense to add a syntax/keyword for this?

``` ruby
module Foo
  module Bar
    def blah
      puts "executing from #{magic_new_keyword}"
    end
  end
end

class Baz
  include Foo::Bar

  def blah
    super
    
    puts "executing from #{self.class.name}"
  end
end

Baz.new.blah
```

What I'm hoping for is
```
executing from Foo::Bar
executing from Baz
```
