Subject: [ruby-core:21702] [Feature #1082] add Object#singleton_class method

Feature #1082: add Object#singleton_class method
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1082

Author: Suraj Kurapati
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: core, Target version: 1.9.2

Please add Object#singleton_class method to the Ruby API.

This method would allow us to write:

  hello.singleton_class

Instead of always having to write:

  (class << hello; self; end)

Furthermore, the name "singleton_class" should be used
to minimize disruption to the existing Ruby API, which
already uses the name "singleton":

>> Object.instance_methods.grep(/singleton/)
=> [:singleton_methods, :define_singleton_method]

>> RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> "ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-20 revision 21700) [i686-linux]"

Thanks for your consideration.
