10:17 PM Ruby Feature #20428 (Closed): Ability to reference current class/module in lexical scope

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

12:08 AM Ruby Feature #17785: Allow named parameters to be keywords

This feels related to [this proposal](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16460) I submitted ~1.5 years ago concerning external/internal names for keyword parameters as it would solve this problem somewhat more elegantly:

08:35 AM Ruby Feature #16460: External names for keyword parameters in method definitions

> What is `foo`?

Hello! This is my first time filing an issue and I was unable to find anything similar. I apologize if one already exists.
