Rails code:

 Accessors.send :define_method, :"default_#{name}", &block

Accessors.module_eval <<-METHOD, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1
    def #{name}
    @details.fetch(:#{name}, [])
    end

    def #{name}=(value)
    value = value.present? ? Array(value) : default_#{name}
    _set_detail(:#{name}, value) if value != @details[:#{name}]
    end

    remove_possible_method :initialize_details
    def initialize_details(details)
    #{initialize.join("\n")}
    end
    METHOD
end

Here we invoke send() on the module Accessors, passing
the :define_method symbol, which represents the define_method private
method available from Class class. We create an instance method called
default_locale, whose value is the block passed from register_detail
class method of ActionView::LookupContext. Note that we later use
"include Accessors" within LookupContext class to make that available
as an instance method of LookupContext. We then create more instance
methods using module_eval, with here-documents to specify our
delimiter (METHOD) and the dynamic constants (__FILE__, __LINE__) for
accurate error reporting on stacktrace. My question is why not include
default_#{name} as part of the evaluated string in module_eval, rather
than invoking send() directly above that using define_method?
