Description
The dynamic nature of defining Data classes with Data#define makes it difficult (if not impossible) to adequately describe scripts using RBS.
If it indeed is impossible, perhaps we should consider a specific syntax for Data classes in RBS. Yes, they are dynamically created classes, so checking is tough, but it is odd to have a first class, core library feature not supported by RBS.
If it is possible and I simply did not know, perhaps updating the tutorial to better discuss how to do this would be very helpful

Research direction
The issue names Ruby's Data#define and RBS but no files, tests, or entry points. First investigate whether dynamically defined Data classes can be described with existing RBS syntax; if not, assess the scope of a dedicated syntax. Done means either documenting the supported approach in the tutorial or defining and implementing a clear support path.
