Description
As one core meta-programming feature from ruby is enhancing of existing classes, or even the creation of anonymous new ones, I'm wondering whether this is possible already. Something like:
module Ext
def foo;end
end
class A
def self.enhance
Class.new(self) do
include Ext
end
end
end
How could one type the result of calling .enhance?

Research direction
The issue provides no file or test entry point; start with the Ruby example using Class.new(self) and include Ext. Determine how, or whether, RBS can type the result of A.enhance, and consider the seven-comment discussion before defining what a supported solution would mean.
