Nested method false positive with Class.new

[owst]

The following code dynamically creates a class using Class.new:

class NestedMethods
  def definer
    Class.new do
      def foo
        'foo'
      end
    end
  end
end

and rubocop (0.36.0 (using Parser 2.3.0.1, running on ruby 2.2.0 x86_64-darwin14)) reports that foo is nested:

foo.rb:4:7: W: Method definitions must not be nested. Use lambda instead.
      def foo
      ^^^^^^^

However, these method definitions are not nested, since Class.new has changed the internal klass pointer and foo is defined on the new class rather than NestedMethods. Furthermore, as the docs say: If a block is given, it is passed the class object, and the block is evaluated in the context of this class using class_eval., therefore I believe the nested method warning should treat Class.new in the same way as class_eval and instance_eval, namely, not issuing a nested method definition warning.
